Title: A well-written account of the Dover, PA trial.
Product review: Edward Humes' Monkey Girl is a readable, seemingly factual account of the Dover Intelligent Design trial of 2005. Humes has done his research with respect to the trial, and if one is looking primarily for an account of only that, this work will suffice (and, in fact, is recommended). However, I am not so sure about his broader background with intelligent design/creationism overall. Although Humes gives a relatively evenhanded (and detailed) account of the trial itself, the careful reader will detect a fairly deeply embedded bias against the possibility of any ultimate creationist/design explanation of biological origins.Read this book more for the details of this single (albeit important) trial rather than for any kind of definitive resolution of the creation/evolution conflict...
