Summer for the Gods The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate over Science and Religion

"...Larson...incisively examines the myths surrounding the Scopes trial. His treatment is fresh and authoritative, making good use of the record of the trial, the extensive newspaper and magazine coverage it received, and the private papers of several of the main figures and organizations involved in it....[T]he originality of his book arises in large part from its thoughtful, evenhanded treatment of both sides in the confrontation--and the seriousness with which he takes the opposing convictions about religion, science, and their relationship to the law that clashed in Dayton.Larson, Edward J. is the author of 'Summer for the Gods The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate over Science and Religion', published 1998 under ISBN 9780674854291 and ISBN 0674854292.
