Evolution in the Sunshine State<\/a><\/p>\n“Brandon Haught, formerly a Marine Corps combat correspondent and currently public information officer with the Volusia County, Florida, Sheriff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Office, has produced a very well-researched, well-written book on the history of the conflicts over evolution in the curriculum of public schools in Florida.”
\n[…]
\n“In summary, Going Ape is informative, helping to put the nationwide exploits of the anti-evolutionists in perspective, and, as a bonus, it is enjoyable to read\u00e2\u20ac\u201dkudos to the author. Haught closes his narrative with ‘It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a certainty that someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s passions will spark the next battle. My fingers are hovering over the keyboard, ready to chronicle it. I doubt I have long to wait’ (page 234). I look forward to reading his next contribution.” <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Reports of the National Center for Science Education published a nice review of Going Ape!
