The trial revealed much more than a disagreement about how to approach science education. It showed two essentially different and conflicting views of the world and the lengths some people will go to promote their own. The ruling by George W. Bush-appointed Judge John Jones III was unexpected in its stridency: Not only did he conclude that intelligent design was religion and not science and therefore had no place in a science classroom, he scolded the school board for wasting public time and money. <p> A sophisticated examination of the deep cultural, religious, and political tensions that continue to divide America, The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything is also journalist Gordy Slack&#8217;s personal and engaging story of the high drama and unforgettable characters on both sides of the courtroom controversy. <br> Gordy Slack (Oakland, CA) has been writing about science and evolutionary biology for 15 years. He is a regular commentator on KQED, an affiliate of NPR, and his articles have appeared in Mother Jones, Salon.com, Wired, California Wild, the San Francisco Chronicle, and many other publications.<br> 325001 8 6 2007 The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything: Evolution, Intelligent Design, and a School Board in Dover, PA total:24|5:6|4:8|3:7|2:1|1:2| 24 87 40 10 334515 0787987867 9780787987862 24 10 The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything: Evolution, Intelligent Design, and a School Board in Dover, PA 3.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173839753m/334515.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/334515.The_Battle_Over_the_Meaning_of_Everything_Evolution_Intelligent_Design_and_a_School_Board_in_Dover_PA 3 0 false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 19:49:48 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 20:10:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 334515 0787987867 9780787987862 24 10 The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything: Evolution, Intelligent Design, and a School Board in Dover, PA 3.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173839753m/334515.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/334515.The_Battle_Over_the_Meaning_of_Everything_Evolution_Intelligent_Design_and_a_School_Board_in_Dover_PA 4 0 false Sat Feb 02 08:15:56 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 30 22:00:11 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 08:15:40 -0800 2008
