Reviews:
-This is a book that will appeal to those with a particular unterest in the field and to the general reader, who, like myself, will probably wile away many hours browsing through these sometimes quirky but always intriguing entries. —Catholic Library World
-[A] useful reference for those with a special interest in all things involving the evolution-creationism debate. —SB&F
-Considering the controversy surrounding evolution and creationism over the last century and a half, and its role in the modern-day curriculum, the publication of this volume is timely. The audience is students and adults who need to be more informed about the issues. School-board members who may be voting on a local ordinance come to mind immediately. Entries cover both sides of the controversy and inlcude people, places, and events....A good complement to reference sources on evolution, More than Darwin adds to the growing documentation of the evolution-creationism controversy. Recommended for most libraries. —Booklist
-More than Darwin is an encyclopedic, fresh approach to the evolution-creationism literature because it is not about taking sides. It is intended as a compendium of people, places, events, and famous quotes that are the history of the controversy. Moore and Decker include 500 entries, and 82 illustrations....Additionally the book includes three useful follow-up tools that provide interested readers with next steps....Moore and Decker intended to provide a concise summary and overview about the who's, what's, and where's of the controversy, not to describe or evaluate the controversy, per se. They have achieved that goal, providing a book that will undoubtedly become heavily dog-eared on the bookshelves of evolutionists and creationists. —American Paleontologist
