Description
Provides a one-stop reference for understanding the most important primary documents in the Evolution-Creation debates

Reviews:
-This unique examination of a diverse debate will help readers in high school, public, and academic libraries better understand arguments on both sides of the issue. —Lawrence Looks at Books
-The authors' insights provide an informative context in which one can appreciate the primary sources that are presented within each chapter. The writing style is clear and accessible, leaving the reader with an informed sense of the controversy (and, in some cases, the absence of controversy) that has existed over the past two centuries. —SB&F
-This title includes more than 40 key primary-source documents from the last two centuries pertaining to the evolution vs. creation debate. The sourced documents are arranged in chronological chapters, and examine topics ranging from beliefs about evolution before Darwin's ^IOn the Origin of Species ^R to intelligent design and current school-board debates about its inclusion in the curriculum. Chapters begin with an overview of the major events and issues concerning the primary resources, placing them in historical context. In addition, brief introductions to the individual readings illuminate the authors' claims. Each chapter ends with a glossary....The writing is clear, and, unlike many other resources on this topic, the editors deftly present both sides of the discussion. For this reason, as well as for the inclusion of primary-source materials, this title will be a useful addition. —School Library Journal
