Synopsis
The teaching of Darwin's theories has been a controversial issue in American high schools for over a century. Larson shows that the matter has still not been resolved today, although the issue is no longer whether evolution should be taught but whether the Biblical view of creation should have equal status in biology classrooms.

Review
"The main contribution of the book is that it traces clearly the legal controversies surrounding evolution and and creationism in American high schools, but readers will also enjoy a vivid retelling of personal credos, political machinations, pedagogical developments, and other historical circumstances surrounding the vicissitudes of 'public science' in the schools."―-Science

8vo. vi, [2], 222 pp. Index. Quarter burgundy gilt-stamped cloth over brown boards, dust jacket. Very good. ISBN: 0195036662 First edition. "The debate over teaching evolution in the public schools remains one of the most emotionally charged controversies in twentieth-century America. The newly revised third edition of Trial and Error, Edward J. Larson's highly acclaimed study--which ranges from before the Scopes trial of 1925 to the creationism disputes of the 1980s--offers the first comprehensive account of the educational and legal battles erupting from this persistent confrontation. This updated classic work presents a balanced historical interpretation of legal and educational debates over evolutionism, and will appeal to those interested in the fields of history, religion, science, and law." âÂÂ" Oxford University Press.
