He saw several small artifacts of the missing student’s life---a frayed piece of string about two feet long of the sort you might bind a package with, half of a pulpy fried tomato, which was too far from the breakfast table to have been dropped, a fountain pen, and lastly, a card which said on the front The September Society. . . . In the small hours of the morning one fall day in 1866, a frantic widow visits detective Charles Lenox. Lady Annabelle’s problem is simple: her beloved son, George, has vanished from his room at Oxford. When Lenox visits his alma mater to investigate, he discovers a series of bizarre clues, including a murdered cat and a card cryptically referring to the September Society. Then, just as Lenox realizes that the case may be deeper than it appears, a student dies, the victim of foul play. What could the September Society have to do with it? What specter, returned from the past, is haunting gentle Oxford? Lenox, with the support of his devoted friends in London’s upper crust, must race to discover the truth before it comes searching for him, and dangerously close to home.

Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • A dramatic story of groundbreaking scientific research of Darwin's discovery of evolution that "spark[s] not just the intellect, but the imagination" (Washington Post Book World). “Admirable and much-needed.... Weiner’s triumph is to reveal how evolution and science work, and to let them speak clearly for themselves.”—The New York Times Book Review On a desert island in the heart of the Galapagos archipelago, where Darwin received his first inklings of the theory of evolution, two scientists, Peter and Rosemary Grant, have spent twenty years proving that Darwin did not know the strength of his own theory. For among the finches of Daphne Major, natural selection is neither rare nor slow: it is taking place by the hour, and we can watch. In this remarkable story, Jonathan Weiner follows these scientists as they watch Darwin's finches and come up with a new understanding of life itself. The Beak of the Finch is an elegantly written and compelling masterpiece of theory and explication in the tradition of Stephen Jay Gould.

When kept in pairs or small groups, they prosper, and they are typically not aggressive toward other finches. These birds are active and enjoy flying, hopping, and investigating their environment. - Society Finches are not known for their melodious singing like other species of finches. They instead emit a succession of soft, monotonous chirping sounds. - Society Finches are relatively simple to care for and an excellent choice for beginning aviculturists (those who keep and breed birds). They require a cage or aviary that is clean, spacious, and equipped with perches and nesting chambers. They will remain healthy on a diet of finch seed blend, fresh water, and occasional treats of fruits and vegetables. - These finches are prolific breeders and can produce multiple eggs per year. They construct their nests using materials from their enclosure, such as sticks, feathers, and nesting material. It is crucial to monitor the breeding process, as animals may produce too many eggs, resulting in overpopulation and potential health problems. - Lifespan: Society Finches have a relatively short lifespan of about 5 to 7 years, although with appropriate care some may live longer. Society Finches are frequently maintained for their affable personalities and ease of care rather than their singing abilities. Due to their gentle nature and willingness to care for the eggs and young of other species, they are occasionally used as surrogate parents for other finch species.
