Briefly, the Darwinian model would interpret the industrial melanism of moth as follows:a change in color from light to dark and back again in generations of moths due to industrial smog in England in the 19th century, is classically explained as the darker colored moths had an advantage that protected them from bird predation as they possessed the most adaptable genetic variation that helped them avoid the birds (the bird is the environmental selector in this case).

Centers for teaching and learning all face the same dilemma: In a context where faculty are not required to partake in our services, how do we provide transformative learning experiences to which faculty willingly give their limited time? The answer, Maria B. Hopkins and Rachel Bailey Jones propose, is to move away from a workshop model of faculty development and toward a model that supports the kinds of connections among faculty that lead to self-sustaining growth and development. This ed...
