NCSE is pleased at last to announce the first issue of Reports of the National Center for Science Education in its new on-line format. The issue — volume 31, number 1 — includes Michael A. Buratovich's "Recent Advances on the Origin of Life — Making Biological Polymers"; Kevin C. Armitage's "How to Humanize Knowledge, or CSI: Evolution and Climate Change"; and, in his regular People and Places column, Randy Moore's "Don Aguillard."
Plus Mike Klymkowsky reviews Matt Young and Paul K. Strode's Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails); Joel W. Martin reviews Francisco Ayala's Am I a Monkey?; David A. Reid reviews Randy Moore, Mark Decker, and Sehoya Cotner's Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy; Robert H. Rothman reviews Allene S. Phy-Olsen's Evolution, Creationism, and Intelligent Design; Stephen P. Weldon reviews Mano Singham's God vs. Darwin; and Matt Young reviews Joel W. Martin's The Prism and the Rainbow.
All of these articles, features, and reviews are freely available in PDF form from http://reports.ncse.com. Members of NCSE will shortly be receiving in the mail the print supplement to Reports 31:1, which contains, in addition to summaries of the on-line material, news from the membership, a new column in which NCSE staffers offer personal reports on what they've been doing to defend the teaching of evolution, and thanks to our donors and supporters.
