Trial and Error traite de l'histoire de l'enseignement de l'évolution dans les lycées américains et de la controverse continue sur le «créationnisme» et l'évolution. La controverse a été un problème politique, en particulier dans le Sud, et a culminé d'abord dans le célèbre « singe trial » au Tennessee au milieu des années 1920 et plus tard dans les années 1970 dans la tentative infructueuse de plusieurs États d'imposer l'enseignement du «créationnisme» aux côtés de la théorie de l'évolution de Darwin.

Trial and Error deals with the history of the teaching of evolution in American high schools and with the continuing controversy over `creationism' and evolution. The controversy has been a political issue, particularly in the South, and climaxed first in the famous `monkey trial' in Tennessee in the mid 1920s and later in the 1970s in the unsuccessful attempt of several states to impose the teaching of `creationism' alongside Darwin's theory of evolution.
"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

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Updated Edition. Bright and clean tan wraps with red and black titles, no wear to extremities, tight, solid and square glued binding. Internals clean and completely unmarked. A still emotionally charged debate about teaching evolution in public schools, amazingly so in the 21st century. Edward Larson's study about this issue ranges from before the Scopes trial of 1925 to the creationism disputes of the 1980s. His study offers the first comprehensive account of the educational and legal battles erupting from this persistent confrontation--which is rearing up again in current affairs.
