After making his documentary Flock of Dodos, Randy Olson (Head Dodo) stepped out of the spotlight and kicked back with some books--one of which was The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything by Gordy Slack. Slack's book explores that Dodorific subject of religion in the science classroom and how the citizens of Dover, Pennsylvania came together to defend the separation of Church and State, a subject dear to Olson's heart. Olson calls Slack's book an "uplifting tale" and, for those of you who have a NewScientist subscription, you'll find a full review here.
