Few have weighed in on the nation's contentious debate over evolution as effectively as Kenneth R. Miller.

Miller shows that the attack on evolution is a broader assault on the skepticism and reason that have fueled America's remarkable scientific advances,...

The evolution versus creationism conflict is here to stay. Even after their devastating defeat in the "Kitzmiller v. Dover" decision, advocates of intelligent design and other forms of creationism continue to revise their strategies for undermining the teaching of evolution-and thus of science in general-in American schools.

After Luther and Melanchthon, Paracelsus was one of the most prolific Early High German writers, yet the Theologika were only partially accessible until today.
