From August 10 to December 20 2009, San Diego State University's Library & Information Access will unveil several exhibits in honor of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. In the Donors Hall, the Library will host "Darwin Now," a traveling exhibit created by the British Council that explores Darwins life and the importance of the theory of evolution to the contemporary world and modern science.  Additionally in the Donors Hall there will be The fact of Evolution,  an exhibit incorporating animal specimens and plants mostly from the SDSU Museum of Biodiversity and Greenhouse, including a Galapagos Island tortoise shell and a terrarium of live plants. Concurrently, the Library's Department of Special Collections will host the exhibit "The Book that Shook the World," an exploration of Darwin's masterpiece On the Origin of Species as well as first editions of all Darwin's other books.  Additional materials from the Special Collections Department will also be on display in support of the exhibit.
