Natural Science and Religion by Asa Gray (1810 - 1888).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/natural-science-and-religion-by-asa-gray/
Asa Gray was a highly-regarded botanist at Harvard University and a friend and collaborator of Charles Darwin. As a Christian, Gray was concerned with the disconnect developing through the nineteenth century between the growing understanding of the natural world and the traditional worldview assumed by orthodox Christianity. This book presents two lectures he gave to theology students at Yale College in which he argues that a disconnect is not inevitable, but that a Christian perspective can and should incorporate current understanding of the world provided by natural science.

  • Text source (only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/cu31924032307666
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Thanks, silverquill, I'd be happy to have you! This will be my first recording and sporadic is fine. I expect four sections of about half an hour each.

Sounds good.
Just finishing a vacation away from home, but I'll be back in the saddle next week.

I'll MC this. Back in a bit with the Magic Window.

EDIT: I've entered you in the system as BarryGanong for your catalog name. This is what will show up on the catalog pages. Is this OK, or do you want some other identification?

This is set up.

As you're the soloist, you're in charge of updating the Magic Window.

Detailed Instructions for accessing the Magic Window can be found in the document linked here: Instructions for Soloists

Video showing how to use the Magic Window (read the above document first - it has the information on how to log in for the first time, which this does not have):
Magic Windows / Section Compiler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOP4tcr1kl8

I've entered the first section for you as an example. You can fill in the rest.

When you upload a chapter, put the file duration (mm:ss) in the Notes field and the uploaded URL into the Listen URL field, and mark it from Assigned to Ready for PL.

Thanks, Tricia. If it isn't a big problem, I'd like my catalog name to have the space between my names, as: Barry Ganong.
