Along with the abortion, death penalty, and euthanasia debates, the public discussion over the origins of humankind continues with no end in sight. For those researching the media's contribution to the discourse, turn to former Associate Press reporter Paxton's (media, journalism, & film, Missouri State Univ.) retrospective text. Researchers will have ample material to mine in this well-referenced resource providing a balanced look at how the media has presented this issue to the public over the past two decades. Helpful appendixes include "Names in the News," "Timeline of Major Court Cases," and "Timeline of Media Moments in the Evolution-Intelligent Design Debate."
VERDICT A thoughtful reference addition for school, college, and public libraries.
