Wallace was a wonderful man...a man full of wonderEverything which took his interest, he studied as deeply as he could, yet, despite the growing recognition he received, he always remained quiet and humble. He was kind and generous, loyal, with a gentle sense of humour which enabled his expressions of grievance to be made without rancour.Wallace was acclaimed in his time as one of the great minds, and like many others has fallen into the shadows of his friend and counterpart, Darwin. In this book the author takes you on a tour of the life and works of this great man. His work covered many subjects from evolution to political theory, and in his every endeavour, the result created a ripple in advancement of human knowledge.Wallace could be among the greatest Englishmen ever to be born. For the sheer breadth and depth of his knowledge, his never ceasing work dedicated, not to the acquisition of personal wealth, but to the welfare of his fellow beings - he has no equal.

Perchance to dreamI dream alone,For who would share my dream?My spirit calls to a kindred spirit,But who will answer?I walk wistfully through lifeWondering if I shall ever meetThe voice I hear in my heart.Is it an illusion?Did I dream it into existence?It follows me hauntingly awake and asleepAccompanied always by a fatalistic senseof the unattainable.I dream alone.Is it not better thusThan never to dream at all?Joy Doolan's style is hers alone, and the feel of her poetry captures the ebbs and flows of life.The poetry of Joy Doolan offers a candid and insightful look into the pains and joys of Australian life. From haunting reflections on the loss of those dearest to us, to a childhood so different than "the now", to political commentary on war and poverty, Joy has the sensitivity to capture moments everyone can relate to. This collection is a display of how the whispers from deep within are heard and transformed into words and poetry.

Evolution. It is not a question of if, but a question of how. Commonly accepted, Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection leaves unanswered some fundamental questions.How did life originate?How did the DNA code originate?How did multi-cellular life originate?How did sex originate?We all know about evolution, the brain-child of Charles Darwin which he announced in his celebrated book, On the Origin of Species. Although possibly the most famous book ever published, few have actually read it. Nevertheless, pretty much every educated person on the planet knows the name, Darwin, and most have at least a general notion of his theory of evolution. Evolution however is a broad and contentious topic that touches on very many aspects of human concern - from the origins of humanity down to the workings of the genetic code. This book sweeps across from the ancient Greeks to the latest ideas in genomics, and embraces it all.In the middle of this rich context sits Darwin and the machinations known as 'the delicate arrangement' - a curious and endlessly mysterious few weeks of events in the mid 19th century. The popular Darwin narrative is firmly established, but a few of the legs it stands on, indeed relies on, are not totally solid.Within the breath-taking survey of the many enigmas thrown up by the idea of evolution, this book also probes deeply into the puzzles within the delicate arrangement itself. Dr Carrington-Smith not only exposes the oddities but composes and presents her own, quite dramatic, tale of deceit and double dealing that explains them.
