Title: Definitive Legal History of the Creationism Controvery
Product review: Larson's book is excellent. It focuses only on the legal historyof 20th Century Creationism. The book wasquite objective and thorough and it is hard to discerne theauthor's position on the matter, although one suspects he maynot be sympathetic to the Creationist cause since he is familiarwith their sometimes devious and irrational strategies formanipulating public opinion, the courts and state legislaturesto "overrule" the scientific community in the matter of evolution.He succeeds in amply illustrating his main thesis, namelythat the response of the courts to Creationism has been profoundlyinfluenced by public opinion. Well written and recently revised tobring it up to date.
