Scopes: Creation on Trial by John Morris
Although much has been written about the famous 1925 Monkey Trial in Dayton, Tennessee, most accounts are skewed in order to shed the best possible light on evolution. This handy, 48-page booklet, however, outlines the real facts surrounding the case. For example, far from being a dedicated teacher hounded by fundamentalists, high school teacher John Scopes never taught evolution at Dayton, but rather allowed himself to be a test case for those who wanted to see evolution taught in public schools. Meticulously researched and illustrated, this book sets the record straight.John Hogan Morris is Research Assistant in Responsible Finance in the Centre for Business in Society at Coventry University. He completed his PhD in 2015 in the Geography Department at Durham University (UK), and earlier that year his work won 'Best Graduate Student Paper' at the New Directions in International Political Economy Conference at University of Warwick. John has published in the Journal of Cultural Economy and is currently co-editing a special issue on 'Security and Finance' in the journal Finance & Society. He also has a section on 'Financial Security' in the International Political Economy of Everyday Life project. He has taught Economic Geography and International Political Economy at Durham University and University College London. John was an invited judge at the London Area Final of the Bank of England's Two Point Zero challenge and has provided informal advice on public communications to the European Central Bank.
