In "Trying Biology", Adam R. Shapiro convincingly dispels many conventional assumptions about the 1925 Scopes "monkey" trial. Most view it as an event driven primarily by a conflict between science and religion. Countering this, Shapiro shows the importance of timing: the Scopes trial occurred at a crucial moment in the history of biology textbook publishing, education reform in Tennessee, and progressive school reform across the country. He places the trial in this broad context - alongside American Protestant anti evolution sentiment - and in doing so sheds new light on the trial and the historical relationship of science and religion in America. For the first time we see how religious objections to evolution became a prevailing concern to the American textbook industry even before the Scopes trial began. Shapiro explores both the development of biology textbooks leading up to the trial and the ways in which the textbook industry created new books and presented them as "responses" to the trial.Today, the controversy continues over textbook warning labels, making Shapiro's study - particularly as it plays out in one of America's most famous trials - an original contribution to a timely discussion.

Los debates sobre ciencia y religión rara vez dejan de ser noticia. Ya sea que se traten de lo que se enseña en las escuelas, de la encrucijada entre los valores religiosos y las recomendaciones médicas o de los cuestionamientos sobre cómo abordar nuestro cambiante medioambiente global, las emociones suelen estar a flor de piel y las respuestas no parecen satisfactorias. Sin embargo, la ciencia y la religión son mucho más que un choque de extremos.Como exponen Thomas Dixon y Adam Shapiro en esta equilibrada, sugerente y breve introducción, existe una gama de puntos de vista, argumentos sutiles y perspectivas fascinantes para abordar este complejo y centenario tema. Así como exploran las preguntas filosóficas clave que subyacen al debate, también destacan los contextos sociales, políticos y éticos que han hecho de las tensiones entre ciencia y religión un asunto tan tenso e interesante en el mundo moderno. En esta nueva edición, Dixon y Shapiro relacionan conceptos históricos como la evolución, el sistema solar heliocéntrico y el problema del mal con temáticas actuales como la politización de la ciencia, los debates sobre la mente, el cuerpo y la identidad o la necesidad moral de enfrentar el cambio medioambiental. Desde los misioneros médicos hasta las congregaciones que adoptan nuevas tecnologías durante una pandemia, desde la astronomía de Galileo hasta la construcción del Telescopio de Treinta Metros, los autores analizan cómo algunas de las cuestiones sociales más complejas de nuestros días tienen su origen en debates sobre ciencia y religión.
