Edward Hume provides a riveting look at the Dover, PA Intelligent Design trial (the Kitzmiller case). Hume places that lawsuit in the larger context of pro- and anti-evolution sentiment and jurisprudence in the USA, going all the way back to the famous "Scopes monkey trial." It's rare for me to find non-fiction books to be "page-turners," but this one is so interesting and so well-written that it easily deserves that label.
