"Evolution and Wonder -- Understanding Charles Darwin"

The public radio show Speaking of Faith is doing a special show on 
Charles Darwin, his gradual development of the theory of evolution, 
and the various reactions, positive and negative, to the theory. The 
program is entitled "Evolution and Wonder -- Understanding Charles 
Darwin" and features an extensive interview with Darwin scholar James 
Moore, the author of The Post-Darwinian Controversies, and coauthor, 
with Adrian Desmond, of Darwin: The Life of a Tormented Evolutionist.
"Evolution and Wonder" will be broadcast on many public radio 
stations on July 23 or July 24; its website contains a list of 
stations that carry the show and air times. The program is also 
available as streaming audio or a podcast mp3 file. Speaking of Faith 
is "public radio's weekly conversation about religion, meaning, 
ethics, and ideas." It is produced and distributed by American Public 
Media, and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The website for the program contains many additional features:
	*	An annotated guide to the radio program, including 
images from the Cambridge University Library collection of Darwin 
material, and quotes from Darwin's correspondence.
	*	A guided graphical tour of Darwin's notebooks. 
Readers can click on an image of a notebook page, zoom in on certain 
areas, and listen to commentary from David Kohn, editor of the Darwin 
Digital Library of Evolution at the American Museum of Natural 
History Library.
	*	Additional audio from interviews and discussion that 
did not make the final cut of the broadcast show, including a panel 
discussion with Kenneth Miller, Robert Pollack, V. V. Raman, and 
Nancey Murphy, held in conjunction with the opening of the Darwin 
exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.
	*	Recommended books and listing of the music played in 
the program.
	*	A page where listeners may submit their reactions to the show.
	*	A journal entry by Speaking of Faith's host Krista 
Tippett, relating what she learned in putting together the show.
