Review Quotes:
"LaFollette has unearthed a gold mine of new and provocative photographs from the Scopes trial, and she puts these to excellent use in explaining the ways in which scientists, journalists, and lawyers collaborated to publicize their own version of the 'trial of the century'"--Jeffrey P. Moran, author of The Scopes Trial: A Brief History with Documents
"LaFollette resurrects a wonderful collection of photographs--some still familiar, others long forgotten--that recaptures a colorful trial from a distant era that still echoes today."--Edward J. Larson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate over Science and Religion
"A riveting account."--Thomas Lovejoy, director, Heinz Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment
