Yet this is exactly what has been happening for decades, as Icons of Evolution' demonstrates. The author, a Berkeley Ph.D in Biology, is not a creationist, but his book describes many serious misrepresentations of facts commonly found in biology textbooks, which are used to perpetuate belief in evolution. The main part of the book describes ten of these icons', devoting one chapter to each, and shows what is wrong with them in the light of published scientific evidence. The chapters are all fairly brief, and each is divided into short sections, to make the material easier to assimilate. The author's thesis is amply documented with 71 pages of research notes at the end of the book. 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aEvolution (Biology)$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a576.8 700 $aWells$b Jonathan$01128446 702 $aSjogren$b Jody F. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135044603321 996 $aIcons of evolution$93375043 997 $aUNINA
