Just got this via eSkeptic:
Free Audio Download of a Chapter from "Why Darwin Matters", by Michael Shermer.
In the opening chapter of Why Darwin Matters, Michael Shermer recounts his voyage to and research in the Galapagos islands with Frank Sulloway as they retraced Darwin’s footsteps to better understand how the British naturalist discovered natural selection; Shermer then explains what evolution is, and how he began college as a creationist and how, in time, he came to realize that evolutionary theory was true and one of the greatest explanatory theories in the history of science.

Hello Jennifer, welcome to AN. I know there are quite a few librarians on here (I really respect librarians, btw), and I think there might even be a librarian's group on AN, under the groups tab.

Hello! I'm new to AN and pretty much to atheism as well. I'm a children's librarian, so I read A LOT of children's literature. But, I try to sneak an adult book in here and there! I mostly read fiction. Not really picky about the genre, just whatever looks good. I hardly ever read nonfiction, but have recently been reading a lot of it, due to my new-found atheism. In that vein, I really loved Hitchens, Dawkins, Barker, John Allen Paulos, and Victor Stenger. Looking forward to talking books with all of you!

Recovering from Religion
Unless you were raised by atheist parents, you probably had some recovering to do when you left religion. The purpose of RR is to provide a landing place for people when they jump from religion. With local support groups throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and real-time resources accessible to everyone, RR is where to turn when faith has lost its luster.See More
