Congrats and kudos to Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education, who was named as one of the Scientific American 10 for 2009.

We recommend her book Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design Is Wrong for Our Schools, co-written with Glenn Branch; a very informative look at the history of anti-evolution movements in the US (including the latest incarnation, “intelligent design”), and their ongoing efforts to sneak creationism into public school science classes.
