FROM THE DUST JACKET: "Forty years ago in Dayton, Tennessee, the forces of science and theology met head-on in a trial that captured the attention of the nation as have few others before or since. IN the end theology won, and not even Clarence Darrow could save John T. Scopes from conviction for the teaching of evolution. After the trial Dayton drifted back into quiet normalcy, and the nation, the weight of doubt apparently lifted, turned away and went about its business. What happened to John Sopes? Did his trial mean anything? Did it settle anything? Change anything?' Where are we now, forty years after, in the irreconcilable conflict between Adam and the monkey? This book is an attempt at an answer. Written by men who either participated in the trial of who are deeply involved in the issues that were at stake."CONDITION: Both book and dust jacket are VG with moderate shelf wear. Unmarked. Dust jacket is bears chipping around the extremities and a 1 inch closed tear at the head of the front cover. A solid, very readable copy. Full refund if not satisfied.
