... [Lebo's] account is both well informed and at times deeply (almost embarrassingly) personal: the whole time she was reporting the story, she was struggling with her own beliefs and also locked in argument with her father, who owned a fundamentalist Christian radio station...., "A brilliant account of the 'intelligent design' case in Dover . . . by a first-rate journalist." --Howard Zinn "Both fascinating and moving. . . . [Lebo] thoughtfully probes one of America's most divisive cultural conflicts--and the responsibilities journalists have when covering such a controversial story." -- Religion Dispatches "Engaging and richly textured . . . a compelling narrative. " -- The Patriot News (Harrisburg) "[Lebo] took care with both the politics and the science of the Dover case." --Carl Zimmer, science journalist

Synopsis
The page-turning story behind the 2005 intelligent design case in Dover, Pennsylvania-the case that made front-page news around the world., Winner of the Ida and Studs Terkel Prize "A brilliant account" of the controversial 2005 legal battle between evolution and creationism in public education "by a first-rate journalist" (Howard Zinn). In 2004, the School Board of Dover, Pennsylvania, decided to require its ninth-grade biology students to learn intelligent design-a pseudoscientific theory positing evidence of an intelligent creator. In a case that recalled the infamous 1925 Scopes "monkey" trial, eleven parents sued the school board. When the case wound up in federal court before a President George W. Bush-appointed judge, local journalist Lauri Lebo had a front-row seat. Destined to become required reading for a generation of journalists, scientists, and science teachers, as well as for anyone concerned about the separation of church and state, The Devil in Dover is Lebo's acclaimed account of religious intolerance, First Amendment violations, and an assault on American science education. Lebo skillfully probes the background of the case, introducing the plaintiffs, the defendants, the lawyers, and a parade of witnesses, along with Judge John E. Jones III, who would eventually condemn the school board's decision as one of "breathtaking inanity." With the antievolution battle having moved to the state level--and the recent passage of state legislation that protects the right of schools to teach alternatives to evolution--Lebo's work is more necessary than ever. "Lebo courageously exhibits the highest standards in intellectual honesty and journalistic ethos." -- Daily Kos "An unapologetic indictment of intelligent design, fundamentalist Christianity, and American journalism's insistence on objectivity in the face of clear untruths." -- Columbia Journalism Review, Local newspaper reporter Lauri Lebo was handed the story of a lifetime when the Dover (Pennsylvania) School Board adopted a measure to require its ninth-grade biology students to learn about intelligent design. In a case that recalled the famed 1925 Scopes "monkey" trial and made international headlines, eleven parents sued the school board. When the case wound up in federal court before a George W. Bush-appointed judge, Lebo had a front-row seat. Destined to become required reading for a generation of journalists, scientists, and science teachers, as well as for anyone concerned about the separation of church and state, The Devil in Dover is Lebo's widely praised account of a perfect storm of religious intolerance, First Amendment violations, and an assault on American science education. Lebo skillfully probes the compelling background of the case, introducing us to the plaintiffs, the defendants, the lawyers, and a parade of witnesses, along with Judge John E. Jones, who would eventually condemn the school board's decision as one of "breathtaking inanity." With the antievolution battle having moved to the state level--and the recent passage of state legislation that protects the right of schools to teach alternatives to evolution--the story will continue to be relevant for years to come., Winner of the Ida and Studs Terkel Prize "A brilliant account" of the controversial 2005 legal battle between evolution and creationism in public education "by a first-rate journalist" (Howard Zinn).

    Book was in great condition, as others mentioned was only packaged in a plastic bag so could have used a bit more cushion for protection but luckily it was ok for me. Was not shipped within the expected time frame and arrived a day after the expected window which was disappointing since we were going away before it arrived and it was meant to bring along with us. Listing stated arrives in 2-4 days and came on day 5 instead due to the late drop off. Great price for the book and value overall.
