LibriVox, an all-volunteer all-free audio book project, has just finished recording Charles Darwin’s The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex. I did a few of those many chapters, the ones on arthropods and insects, of course! “My” chapters are in Part 2. There are many charming stories of how beetles squeak like mice, crabs remember their mates, and courting bristletails caress one another’s antennae.
Part 1 and Part 3 are also available. Thanks to the great team of readers, coordinators and proof-listeners for making this project happen!
