Evolution's Workshop: God and Science on the Galapagos Islands

Description:

Tells the story of Darwin's explorations on the Galapagos Islands; the fabulous Gilded Age expeditions, run from rich men's gigantic yachts, that featured rough-and-ready science during the day and black-tie dinners every night; the struggle for control of research on the Galapagos; the current efforts by "creation scientists" to use the Galapagos to undercut evolutionary teaching; and many other compelling stories.
