  • "An example of how changing public opinion and judicial doctrine affected both sides' fortunes in this lively controversy."

  • "The debate over teaching evolution in the public schools remains one of the most emotionally charged controversies in twentieth-century America. This third edition of Edward J. Larson's highly acclaimed study - which ranges from before the Scopes trial of 1925 to the creationism disputes of the 1980's - offers the first comprehensive account of the educational and legal battles erupting from this persistent belief."
  • "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."
