DESC: Updated with a new preface and responses to recent attacks on evolution theory, Science and Earth History remains a popular and scholarly antidote to the fictions of creationism once again finding their way into classrooms and universities. Strahler illuminates the controversy by reviewing the philosophy, methodology, and sociology of empirical science, as contrasted with those of the belief systems of religion and pseudoscience. The author also includes lucid criteria for distinguishing science from pseudoscience, as well as discussions of the great discoveries and developments in science that point to an evolution of life over the earth's three-billion-year history.
