Drawing on a vast body of work across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, Prindle explores the rhetoric of the evolution issue, explores its history, examines the nature of the public opinion that causes it, evaluates the Constitutional jurisprudence that upholds it, and explains the political dynamic that keeps it going. This incisive analysis is a must-read in a wide range of disciplines and for anyone who wants to understand the politics of biology.
Reviews / Votes
"In this eminently readable and thoroughly researched volume, political scientist David Prindle addresses the political implications of evolution, and particularly the debate over the teaching of evolution and creationism, including intelligent design, in public schools. Prindle argues convincingly that politics and science are inextricably intertwined; his thought-provoking message will spark discussion in the evolutionary sciences, history, philosophy, religion, and education, and should be read by anyone interested in the evolution-creationism controversy."-Dr. Patricia H. Kelley, University of North Carolina WilmingtonButtressed by an extensive bibliography as well as his own experiments in pedagogy, Prindle suggests that the 'teach the controversy' strategy championed by creationists may actually be the best way to explore the science and expose the fallacies of creationism. In the end, he has no answer for the problem (democracy versus science) that he identifies, but the path toward that lack of a conclusion is thought provoking and insightful. --D. A. Rintoul, Kansas State University CHOICE
