Description:
New York:: Oxford University Press, 1985., 1985. 8vo. vi, [2], 222 pp. Index. Quarter burgundy gilt-stamped cloth over brown boards, dust jacket. Very good. ISBN: 0195036662 First edition. "The debate over teaching evolution in the public schools remains one of the most emotionally charged controversies in twentieth-century America. The newly revised third edition of Trial and Error, Edward J. Larson's highly acclaimed study--which ranges from before the Scopes trial of 1925 to the creationism disputes of the 1980s--offers the first comprehensive account of the educational and legal battles erupting from this persistent confrontation. This updated classic work presents a balanced historical interpretation of legal and educational debates over evolutionism, and will appeal to those interested in the fields of history, religion, science, and law." – Oxford University Press.

Description:
New York, Oxford University Press, 1985, hardcover, vi-222 pp, First Edition, First Printing by numberline, Very Good in Very Good dustjacket. Straight, tight and clean with no markings, small dampstain to heel of spine extending to endpapers not affecting text. Dustjacket unclipped bearing original price, slight spine-end bumps, tiny nicks to rear panel, faint evidence of dampstain to heel of spine, in new Brodart sleeve. Larson shows how public attitudes toward the teaching of evolution in public schools have changed little since the 1920s and why legislators and the judiciary have more often sided with prevailing public sentiment and avoided ruling on the scientific merits of either side. Appended: Conclusion, Appendix containing bibliographic data for multiple-edition, high-school, life-science textbooks published between 1959 and 1920 and contained in the Library of Congress, Notes, Bibliographic Note, Index.
