- 1675: Macbeth A Story Of Our Time
- Macbeth, a Play for our Time. The Irony and Symbolism Such is the genius and so great is the scope of Shakespeare's writings that there can be little doubt that a common perception is one of an imaginative mind concocting stories. In fact Shakespeare had many sources and much of his ... play is verbal. For example, the exit of Macbeth at his final visit to the weird sisters where the first witch wryly comments on Macbeth's forgetting to thank them with, First Witch: "That this great king may kindly say Our duties did his welcome pay." (IV,i,132) Another example in the speech in which Lennox ponders the strange evens which have unfolded since the banquet, Lennox: "And the right ... apparition that he would "no man of woman born" shall harm him (IV,i,80). This illusion was amplified with the third apparition's promise: Third Apparition: "Macbeth shall never be vanquish'd be until Great Birham Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him."

- ... very critical essay "Why I Hate the Celestine Prophecy." "A novel of ideas;" that's a good phrase for this "novel."

This is a great book for someone looking for direction and conflict resolution. However, if you're looking for a book with depth and literary merit, you'd be better off with Danielle Steele.

- 1678: Charles Darwin
- ... what Darwin sought to prove. Dogs descended from wolves, and even today the two will readily crossbreed. With rare exceptions, however, few modern dogs actually resemble wolves.

If humans could cross breed such radically different dogs in only a few hundred years, Darwin reasoned that ... lived at Down House, a country gentleman among his gardens, conservatories, pigeons, and fowls. The practical knowledge he gained there, especially in variation and interbreeding proved invaluable. At Down House Darwin addressed himself to the great work of his life, the problem of the origin of species. After five years of collecting the evidence, Darwin began to speculate on the subject. In 1842 he drew up his observations in some short ... Wallace's before the Linnean Society in 1858. Neither Darwin nor Wallace was present on that historic occasion.

This great work, received throughout Europe with the deepest interest, ...
