Trial And Error Traces The Coverage Or Lack Thereof, Of Evolution In Textbooks Used In American Public Schools From The Mid1800S To The Present. While The Teaching Of Darwinian Evolution Was Common And Not Controversial In The Late 19Th Century And Into The Early 20Th Century, The Debates Between Evolutionists And Creationists, Those Who Argue That The Biblical Theory Of Origins Deserves Equal Treatment, Have Flared Throughout The Twentieth Centuryfirst In The 1920S, Most Famously In The Scopes Trial; Again In The 1960S, When The Regional Legislation Banning The Teaching Of Evolution Was Overturned, Notably In Arkansas And Louisiana; And Throughout The 1980S With Various Controversies Over Science Textbooks, Including California. Larson Proposes To Bring The Subject Up To The Present Through A Discussion Of Recent Trends, Including The 'Intelligent Design' Movement, Led By Phillip Johnson, A Revised Form Of Antievolutionism That Gained Popularity On College Campuses; The Impact Of Michael Behe'S Versions Of Evolution; And Debates Over What Counts As Evidence For And Against Evolutionall Of Which Have Influenced Debates Over Science Standards, Particularly At State And Local Levels. This New Chapter Will Chronicle Antievolution Actions In Kansas And Elsewhere And Counteractions By The National Academy Of Science And Other Anticreationist Groups. This Updated Classic Work Presents A Balanced Historical Interpretation Of Legal And Educational Debates Over Evolutionism, And Will Appeal To Those Interested In The Fields Of History, Religion, Science, And Law.
