  1. 1. Monkey Girl

    Evolution, Education, Religion, and the Battle for America's Soul

    A vivid, narrative account of a small Pennsylvania school board’s attempt to introduce intelligent design into the public school science curriculum and the explosive courtroom battle that followed, portraying parents, teachers, lawyers and community members caught in a heated clash between faith and science. Through courtroom drama, local politics and media attention, the book explains the scientific, legal and cultural arguments at stake and shows how a local dispute became a national flashpoint over education, democracy and the boundaries between religion and public life.
