Description: Since the middle of the 19th century, debates over evolution have occurred almost non-stop. From the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species to the recent Kitzmiller v. Dover trial, there has rarely been a time in which scientists, educators, theologians, politicians, and judges have not been involved in these debates. How can anyone keep all of these individuals straight without a scorecard? More than Darwin is that resource, providing accessible and balanced synopses of every major person, organization and place involved in the long history of the evolution-creationism controversies. The hundreds of entries in More than Darwin: The People and Places of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy cover the entire range of topics in the history of the debate:
  • Scientists -- for example, Charles Darwin, William Hamilton
  • Religious Leaders -- Henry Ward Beecher, Bob Jones, Kent Hovind, and many others
  • Lawyers and Plaintiffs -- e.g., Wendell Bird, Clarence Darrow, Don Aguillard
  • Organizations -- American Civil Liberties Union, Answers in Genesis, and more
  • Places -- Dayton, Tennessee, The Galapagos Islands, and others
  • Evolution and Creationism in Popular Culture, such as The Flintstones, and Inherit the Wind
    The encyclopedia includes a bibliography of sources for further research and is heavily illustrated with some never-before-seen images of the people and places of this never-ending controversy.
