Science, religion, political intrigue and massive egos—the infamous
“monkey trial” had it all. In Summer for the Gods, Edward J. Larson elegantly
recreates the unfolding drama of creationists versus evolutionists in small-town
Tennessee, and considers the trial’s enduring legacy on contemporary American
society. Highly recommended. Published by Basic Books, $25, ISBN
0465075096.
