Stefan Schroeter adidosolutionslt — I was in the library on Friday picking up an Interlibrary Loan book, and noticed the Devil in Dover sitting on the New Arrivals shelf. Less than 48 hours later I have read it. Damn, I enjoyed this book. First things first - Lebo is a journalist, and so the book is very clearly written and a fast read. It covers the Dover Trial in Pennsylvania, where a creationist school board attempted to alter Dover's science curriculum so that Intelligent Design would be taught alongside evolution. Local parents sued, and it became a litmus test case for the teaching of religious concepts in science classes, much like the Scopes Monkey Trial and the case that caused the ruling that teaching creation science in biology courses was unconstitutional. It is fascinating. Lebo covered the trial and so her account is firsthand - but she is also local to the area, and grew up within shouting distance of Dover. She is probably someone who could be considered agnostic, but her father was not only religious but the owner of a local conservative religious radio station, and her account is scattered with meditations on their relationship. Beginning with no thorough scientific background, she describes her own first impressions of Intelligent Design (as a pretty good idea) and the evolution of her thoughts as she educates herself on the issues. Many of the plaintiffs in the suit, parents of children who would be subject to the altered curriculum, were themselves religious, whether Catholic, Mormon, or Baptist. She covers the bonds that formed between people in both camps, how the battle tore the tiny town apart, the bravery of the parents, and the arrogance of the school board - it is, above all, a book about people. I never thought the lead up to and execution of a long legal battle could be written to be a quick and interesting read, but Lebo proves me wrong.

David Nawrot nawrot — Music is my savior, and I was maimed by rock and roll. I was maimed by rock and roll. I was tamed by rock and roll. I got my name from rock and roll.

Danilo Bueno danilobf — A beautiful and dark tale of lost and found love which answers all of our "what if?" questions. Are you ready for those answers? Read it and find out. I could not put this book down.

Felipe Alvarado felialvarado04 — Liked this very much. The story of a woman who begins a working class life in England before World War I and follows here to her very old age.

薛 晨 6304431661fea — Lovely concept book about the five senses exploring the four seasons.

Elena V elenaen — Ok Three stars cause I didn't like Two of the stories. I love Kurland and Shinn and really enjoyed both of these stories. When winter comes was fun to read about a character that was in the book "The Mystic and the Ryder.A book I love. 'A Whisper of Spring' is a little background for the Nine Kingdom books by Kurland. I did try to read Kiss of the Snow Queen but it was crude and not well written so I didn't finish. A gift of Wings was ok but I was missing major back story and it wasn't clean and all the gender roles were mixed up, weird.

Hanin Alahmad _anin_esigns — This one creeped me out. But could not put it down.
