Reissued with a new preface: the Pulitzer Prize-winning book
that is "quite simply the best book ever written on the Scopes
Trial and its place in American history and myth."
In the summer of 1925, the sleepy hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee,
became the setting for one of the 20th century''s most contentious
dramas: the Scopes trial that pit William Jennings Bryan and the
anti-Darwinists against a teacher named John Scopes into a famous
debate over science, religion, and their place in public
education.
That trial marked the start of a battle that continues to this
day--in Dover, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Cobb County, Georgia, and many
other cities and states throughout the country. Edward Larson''s
classic, Summer for the Gods, received the Pulitzer Prize in
History in 1998 and is the single most authoritative account of a
pivotal event whose combatants remain at odds in school districts
and courtrooms. For this edition, Larson has added a new preface
that assesses the state of the battle between creationism and
evolution, and points the way to how it might potentially be
resolved.
