Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-05 00:00:00 Gloria I Escalante Two great things about this book: 1) it's magnificently researched; 2) it lucidly gets into the discussions on the philosophy of science, which was really at the heart of the evolution debates. The author doesn't hide how unimpressed he is with the "violent anti-evolutionists" (his favorite phrase), but such swipes notwithstanding, he describes their positions well. I was interested to see how many arguments for and against evolution (i.e. intelligent design's "irreducible complexity" argument) have not changed in 140 years. A fascinating read.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-17 00:00:00 Tammy Bowen I read Einsohn once or twice a year. She covers so much, so well, that it's always a helpful refresher. In discussing editorial issues she goes beyond issuing decrees. She compares approaches from different style guides, and quotes contending arguments for a larger problem-solving view. In fact, I have to suspect that her intelligent middle path between dogmatic legalism and unprincipled permissiveness is indeed the key to world peace.
