Darwinism, Design and Public Education

Themselves advocating a "teach the controversy" approach to dealing with the question of Darwinism vs. "Intelligent Design" (ID, a form of unscientific Creationism in the view of critics) in the public schools, Campbell (communication, U. of Memphis) and Meyer (conceptual foundations of science, Palm Beach Atlantic U.) present 26 papers setting forth the case for and against the theory, as well as visiting both sides of the "teach the controversy" argument. Advocates of ID receive relatively more space than their detractors. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
