8vo. xxi, 184 pp. Frontis., index. Tan gilt-stamped cloth, dust-jacket. Fine. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR (on the title). Tracing the growth of creationism in America as a political movement, this book explains why the particularly American phenomenon of anti-evolution has succeeded as a popular belief. Conceptualizing the history of creationism as a strategic public relations campaign, Edward Caudill examines why this movement has captured the imagination of the American public, from the explosive Scopes trial of 1925 to today's heated battles over public school curricula. Caudill shows how creationists have appealed to cultural values such as individual rights and admiration of the rebel spirit, thus spinning creationism as a viable, even preferable, alternative to evolution. / In particular, Caudill argues that the current anti-evolution campaign follows a template created by Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, the Scopes trial's primary combatants. Their celebrity status and dexterity with the press prefigured the Moral Majority's 1980s media blitz, more recent staunchly creationist politicians such as Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, and creationists' savvy use of the Internet and museums to publicize their cause. Drawing from trial transcripts, media sources, films, and archival documents, Intelligently Designed highlights the importance of historical myth in popular culture, religion, and politics and situates this nearly century-old debate in American cultural history. [publisher]. / Edward Caudill is a professor of journalism and electronic media at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. ISBN 10: 087049984X. …

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 211 pages. Published in 2009. The author's book-length account on subjects. One of the finest literary and intellectual achievements of our time. The best book published to celebrate the Bi-Centennial of both Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Adam Gopnik's "Angels And Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, And Modern Life". His riveting and insightful collection of linked essays, on two great, still-controversial, and still-relevant figures, who were born on the same day, February 12, 1809. "In the year of Darwin's and Lincoln's Bi-Centennial, Gopnik finds parallels of cultural impact between the men, born on the same day in 1809, seeing them as twin exemplars of modernity. Gopnik notes that it is not what they have in common with each other that matters. It is what they have in common with us. And that commonality lies in the modern way of speaking (plain English) and thinking (scientific and liberal). Gopnik underscores the importance of eloquence in spreading new ideas, and his notion that Lincoln and Darwin exemplify the modern predicament, that human beings must live in the space between what we know and what we feel, is resonant" (Publishers Weekly). "Forever links them, emphasizes the importance of two great men, and re-evaluates the role of 19th-century thinking in the modern world. Gopnik's essays have given him a well-deserved reputation as an astute observer and chronicler of modern life, and critics generally view Gopnik's effort as an admirable attempt to breathe new life into dogmatic ideas" (Bookmarks Magazine). The criticism leveled against Gopnik's account is that the connection between Lincoln and Darwin is tenuous at best, and that his effort to make one is a stretch. We need to respond to the stupidity of such criticism as plainly as possible: There is NO obvious connection whatsoever between Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. Gopnik's achievement is precisely to find and make the connection where none previously existed, enabling us to see two men (who never met) in a whole new light. Forget the solemn and ponderous 500-page books on Darwin and Lincoln that have been published, tedious "scholarship" that goes over the same ground previous books have already trod. Adam Gopnik's nimble book is all you need to see these two towering modern figures again with insight, that rare ability to intuit deeper connections and relevance. An absolute "must-have" title for Adam Gopnik, Charles Darwin, and Abraham Lincoln collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated (in the year of publication), and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "For Chris, Adam Gopnik 2009". The recipient, who is named, obtained the signature in person. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of very few such signed, publication-year dated, and inscribed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ADAM GOPNIK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0307270785. Signed by Author.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 470 pages. Published in 2009. The author's magisterial account on subject. One of the best books ever written in our time on evolution in particular and science in general. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a regular first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The book remains available in innumerable subsequent printings. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Richard Dawkins' "The Greatest Show On Earth: The Evidence For Evolution". An accessible and engaging account on a subject that he victoriously celebrates - rather than argues - as indisputable, irrefutable fact. He makes a compelling case for Charles Darwin as THE most consequential and influential - therefore the greatest - thinker of our time, since at least the late-19th century up to the present. Greater, that is, than the greatest: Einstein, Freud, and Marx, among a few others. Yet Dawkins realized that a disturbingly large percentage of the American and British public - the majority, in fact - did not share his knowledge, much less conviction, about evolution. Admittedly, natural selection - "survival of the fittest" - is an inescapably harsh and cruel reality. But for Dawkins: Fact = The Truth. In the end, nothing but the truth really matters to him as the greatest Darwinian of our time. Resistance and resentment about evolution are deep because it seems to contradict the Bible and refute the existence of God. Well, of course, it does. Notwithstanding intellectual attempts to find their common ground, the respective worldviews are fundamentally non-negotiable and irreconcilable. "There is grandeur in his view of life" (Jonah Lehrer). An absolute "must-have" title for Richard Dawkins collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Richard Dawkins. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great book. This is one of few such title-page signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Almost ALL other copies available online, including those that say "First Edition" are not because they are in multiple subsequent printings (even if their dealers don't say so). Or they have serious flaws. As such, they do not have collectible value. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with magnificent color plates. One of the greatest scientist/thinkers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1416594787. Signed by Author. …

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. The book itself isn't signed, but laid in is a brief autographed note signed (ALS) on Dobbs's personal stationary: "Jeff, good talking with you. Enjoy the diving and the reefs, and take a peek for me. I've still not been to [?]. Till next time, David Dobbs." Dobbs is a freelance science writer for high-profiled magazines, and this book looks a the long-running argument between Darwin and Alexander Agassiz (the son of Louis Agassiz) over the formation of coral. Darwin was right, of course, but Agassiz pushed oceanography forward substantially as he traveled the world studying coral. An interesting book on the evolution of science and the history of evolution. Near fine with a little rubbing to spine tail, otherwise crisp and tight. In a fine jacket.…
