The Science of Evolution And The Myth Of Creationism, Knowing What's Real And Why It Matters CX-06 By Ardea Skybreak In today's world, without the science of evolution there would be no science. Written for both the scientifically-minded as well as those who are not familiar with science at all, this book details the facts of the science of evolution. In one engrossing volume Ardea Skybreak looks at the diversity and complexity of life on this planet and how all life, including humans, evolved. She examines the many different lines of mutually reinforcing evidence that support and confirm the biological theory of evolution. At the same time, Skybreak dissects the myth of Creationism and the lies behind the thinly-veiled religiosity of Intelligent Design. There's urgency in this book. It comes at a time when evolution-and the very definition of science-is under concerted attack by religious fundamentalists, with backing from the highest levels of government. The reader will come away with a deepened appreciation of the beauty and wonders of nature, as well as an understanding of the basic scientific facts of evolution and a clear sense of why science and a scientific method make it possible to determine what's real-and why knowing what's real profoundly matters. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK "…Skybreak covers all the key concepts, but does so in a passionate, refreshingly aggressive way. She doesn't hesitate to call a stupid idea stupid, and back up the charge with the evidence. If your interest in evolution isn't simply academic, this is an excellent book to simultaneously inform and instruct, and supply the reasoning to deal with creationist foolishness. It's also refreshing to see a book that isn't timid about pointing out that fundamentalist religion is the source of the problem, and that isn't afraid of offending creationists. It makes for an invigorating read, and I recommend it highly." - P. Z. Myers Biologist and Associate Professor, University of Minnesota, Morris. "…well written, concise, and comprehensive…accessible to the general reader and uncompromising in its logic and accuracy in presenting scientific concepts…give your students Ardea Skybreak's book and watch their understanding grow." - Kevin Padian, Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley Curator, Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley. "…of tremendous benefit to many, especially those in the teaching profession where there are frequent opportunities to defend science against the ridiculous assertions by religious zealots and fundamentalists." - Richard Leakey Paleoanthropologist, former Director of Kenya's National Museums, former Director of the Kenya Wildlife Service. "…clearly explains the overwhelming evidence for evolution and why it is scientific fact… Skybreak does an excellent job of educating and inspiring an interest in nature, science and evolution." - David Seaborg Evolutionary biologist, founder and President of the Foundation for Biological Conservation and Research, founder and President of the World Rainforest Fund. |
