Tennessee biology teacher John Scopes was arrested in 1925 for teaching evolution in defiance of state law. His trial became an epic free speech debate that spiraled into an all-out duel between science and religion, with two of the century's greatest orators, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, as competing attorneys. MONKEY TRIAL explores the social fault line between scientific discoveries and the literal truth of the Bible.

"The Animal Family books are not just written by their authors. They are studied and researched and lived into existence. Each book helps to make the world of nature that much more real, more understandable, and more valuable to children." ~Description from Stacey's website

The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins is one of my all time favorite books--in the top 5! The illustrations are intricate and inspiring...some of the most wonderful science illustration I've ever seen. It's just beautiful! The book is about Waterhouse Hawkins, a scultpor and artist who worked with paleontologists in Victorian England. Very few fossils were known at the time, and certainly not complete. With comparative anatomy, he and his collegues visualized what they thought dinosaurs may have looked like. Some of it was right, and some wrong...but the important thing was the process, and the show!

We've added new designs, and long-sleeved shirts, to our CafePress shop. My favorite is the blue deinonychus fossils on brown for women, and on navy for men.
