The Monkey Business: A Scientist Looks at Creationism
reviewed on + 296 more book reviews


In legislatures, courtrooms, school boards and classrooms across America, a battle is being fought - a battle that "Scientific Creationists" claim will preserve the family, religion, the American Way, and that scientists of Evolution fear will establish the groundwork for legally enforced ignorance and totalitarian thought control.

Niles Eldredge, a curator at the American Museum of Natural History, presents the issues on both sides and makes a forceful, fascinating case for the continuing teaching of evolution - including its history, discoveries, predictions, and its limits.
