Newswise — Back in late 2009, the NCSE started offering free evolution book excerpts on its web site (www.ncse.com) and via Facebook (www.facebook.com/evolution.ncse). The excerpts--often complete chapters--were culled from a range of tomes, from illustrated versions of the Origin to textbooks (such as Douglas Futuyma's Evolution) to kids books (such as Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be).
Some of the excerpts currently available:
