|  | The Origins of Species by Charles Darwin
Perhaps the most readable and accessible of the great works of the scientific imagination, The Origin of Species sold out on the day it was published in 1859. Theologians quickly labeled Charles Darwin the most dangerous man in England, and, as the Saturday Review noted, the uproar over the book quickly 'passed beyond the bounds of the study and lecture-room into the drawing-room and the public street.' Yet after reading it, Darwin's friend and colleague T.H. Huxley had a different reaction: 'How extremely stupid not to have thought of that.' AUTHOR: Charles Darwin

 | Toulouse by A. R. Cohen, Priscilla Cummings
Toulouse, the wise old Canada goose from the Chadwick series, stars in his own adventure in this new picture book by Cummings and Cohen. As a youngster, Toulouse wasn`t quite so wise, as he freely admits when he tells his nieces and nephews his story one crisp October day. Toulouse had gotten into mischief early -- when he was just a newly hatched little yellow gosling -- but nothing compared with the trouble he found on his first migration to Maryland. Separated from his family, he was left to find his own way south with a lost snow goose named Desdemona, who became his special friend for life. Their love story is one children and grownups alike will treasure. Along the way the oddly matched couple deal with the main peril of migration -- navigating their way to their winter home -- and they also face their fear of airplanes, power lines, hunters, and predators. The children who read Toulouse will not only enjoy the goose`s exciting story, they`ll also learn about the mysteries and realities of life in the wild. AUTHOR: A. R. Cohen, Priscilla Cummings
