Evolution, from PBS, starts with the simple idea "Where we're from and where we're going" to explore a critical yet misunderstood process. From the genius of Charles Darwin to the power of sex, the web site examines the science of evolution and its profound effect on society and culture. The web site, like the TV miniseries of the same name, starts with "Darwin's Dangerous Idea," blending drama and reality to take a new look at Darwin's world, and proceeds to explore the emergence of consciousness, the origin and success of humans, and the conflict between science and religion to understand what makes life on Earth tick. pbs.org --------------- World Festivals Portal Truly party central, 2 Camels is a comprehensive guide to festivals worldwide, from Spain's Running of the Bulls to Berlin's Love Parade -- a whole world of celebrations. The concept here: discovering what and how foreigners celebrate is a cooler route to learning about cultures and life styles than just dining, shopping and touring historical sites. "Hot Spots" features places that know how to party a little hardier, locales where festivals are a way of life rather than just a bunch of halfhearted occasions. Visitors can search by country or by month, or follow the site's major headings, like Bizarre Festivals, to get a real traveler's' perspective on unusual ways to see the world. 2camels.com ----------------- Do It Yourself Simple shapes, spheres, cubes and triangles combine to form intricate structures at Do It Yourself, where the creative mind can put three-dimensional figures into a myriad of forms, from a simple house to a palace, a car to a wolf, all on the multi-tiered canvas. distorter.net ---------------- Red Hot Jazz Archive The Red Hot Jazz Archive is a place to study and enjoy the music of early Jazz, from 1895 to 1929, the improvisational blend of ragtime, marching band music and Blues that came from the hands and mouths of virtuoso musicians whose spontaneous, radical music startled and thrilled listeners-then and now. Here the joy and adventure that was early Jazz is captured by multimedia technology that allows visitors to enjoy essays, films, audio recordings and discographies that capture the musicians and the bands that started the revolution, from the cornet of Buddy Bolden to the ivories of Jelly Roll Morton. redhotjazz.com ----------------Source: tricksandtrinkets.com
