Natural Selection

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent. but the ones most responsive to change”

This quote could apply as easily to Burning Man and the Burning Library as it does to the theory of natural selection. 

As a complement to Burning Man 2009’s Evolution theme, Alex from Toronto has added Charles Darwin’s The Origin of the Species to the collection. In addition, he is also contributing Noam Chomsky’s What Uncle Sam Really Wants and Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. As always, you can check out the full collection on LibraryThing.

The most exciting news of all is that Alex himself will be joining us at Burning Man! So keep an eye out for this Natural Librarian as he strolls the sandy streets of Black Rock City.
