Richard Dawkins's exceptionally well-written, and surprisingly, still concise, book that is the best book demonstrating the reality of biological evolution, and the absurdity of creationist claims to the contrary, to a potentially large popular audience I believe it is the best book that his publisher, Simon and Schuster, has published in the last two decades.

Philosopher Robert Pennock's devastatingly brilliant critique of Intelligent Design and other varieties of Creationism, which remains the best book devoted to exposing its religious origins.

National Center for Science Education Executive Director Eugenie Scott strongly recommends this book as the best history ever published on Creationism, which now includes a chapter devoted to "Intelligent Design".

Ken Miller's magnificent rebuttal of Intelligent Design creationism that is coupled with a compelling persuasive argument explaining hoiw and why Intelligent Design is a dire threat to America's scientific soul.

AMNH paleobiologist Niles Eldredge's stinging rebuke of "Intelligent Design" and other flavors of creationism. Noteworthy since creationists have greatly misinterpreted and distorted his research.

The most succinct summary that is available of the overwhelming evidence for biological evolution, written by one of our most important evolutionary biologists.

A brilliant, most persuasive, presentation of the fact of evolution and why it is genuine science from one of the 20th Century's greatest evolutionary biologists, who was also one of the key architects of the Modern Synthesis Theory of Evolution. He was also one of the finest, most gifted writers on science too.

Terse book in support of evolution and a harsh condemnation of "Intelligent Design from a historian of science and a former "fundamentalist" which Richard Milner highly recommends in his June, 2007 Natural History article.

Philosopher Philip Kitcher's excellent sequel to his "Abusing Science" in which "Intelligent Design" is shown to be neither intelligent nor an idea worthy of the label "design".

A timely useful primer for teachers and parents interested in understanding why "Intelligent Design" shouldn't be taught in science classrooms. It's co-edited by Eugenie Scott, Executive Director, National Center for Science Education.

Along with Eugenie Scott's "Evolution vs. Creationism", this is an invaluable resource for educators interested in debunking creationism in science classrooms.

Distinguished evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins' seminal work which is both a brilliant defense of the Theory of Evolution via Natural Selection from a reductionist (strict selectionist) perspective and a superb rebuttal of "Intelligent Design".

Dover, Pa resident and local journalist Lauri Lebo's spellbinding personal account of the 2005 Kitzmiller vs. Dover Area School District trial that is among the best accounts of the trial itself.

Screenwriter - and Charles Darwin's great-great-grandson - Matthew Chapman's idiosyncratically hilarious, and quite memorable, memoir recounting his experience observing the Kitzmiller vs. Dover Area School District Trial.

Another important anthology of papers which demonstrate why "Intelligent Design" (ID) isn't scientific, but rather, a religious idea. It features a superb essay from Robert Pennock in which he tears up ID advocate William Dembski's pathetic philosophical arguments in favor of it.

Handy guide which provides succinct responses to IDiots (Intelligent Design advocates) and other creationists who question valid, mainstream science. But may be less useful than Scott's books in providing the legal history of this debate.
