A perfect gift for the inveterate realist
From BBC News:-
The complete works of one of history’s greatest scientists, Charles Darwin, are being published online.
The project run by Cambridge University has digitised some 50,000 pages of text and 40,000 images of original publications - all of it searchable.
Surfers with MP3 players can even access downloadable audio files.
The resource is aimed at serious scholars, but can be used by anyone with an interest in Darwin and his theory on the evolution of life.

What, even those regrettable lapses into talking about, er, systematic differences between socially constructed peoplehoods? The cheerful, talkative negro, the morose American Indian and suchlike?
Let us hope the works are festooned with appropriate health warnings and patronising glosses about how dear old Darwin couldn’t always rise above the limitations of his age.
