  The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
   
   
   
  The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
   
   
   
  This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

  'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'
  
  Considered as the foundation of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin's groundbreaking On the Origin of Species profoundly transformed the field of biology at the time, as well as contemporary religious beliefs.
  
  First published in 1859, On the Origin of Species presents Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin argues that species evolve over time; individuals with superior traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. These favourable traits become more common in subsequent generations, leading to the gradual development of a new species. Darwin draws upon extensive evidence from biology, geology and the animal kingdom to support his theory, challenging the idea that species are fixed and unchanging. Revolutionary in its influence, On the Origin of Species laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology. This audiobook edition is skilfully narrated by Mark Elstob.
  Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English biologist, naturalist and geologist. Initially studying medicine and theology, Darwin became drawn to natural science, wherein he developed the pioneering theory of evolution via natural selection. He remains a hugely respected figure in science to this day.

  The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

  Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
   
   
   
  In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
   
   
   
  This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.
