excellent introduction

I think the first reviewer must have been reading a different book. This excellent collection edited by Michael Ruse is the best and best priced anthology I found after examining dozens of possible texts to use in my upper division philosophy of science course. The chapters are fairly short and quite accessible to undergraduates. The editor is fair in presenting a number of perspectives on controversial issues. And readers get a broad survey of the field. The book is hardly slanted to creationism: Ruse is not a believer, though again, quite fair toward belief. A very good survey for college students and the wider educated public.
