NCSE | National Center for Science Education - Defending the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools.

Back in late 2009, we started offering free evolution book excerpts on the NCSE web site and via Facebook. The excerpts--often complete chapters--were culled from a range of tomes, from illustrated versions of the "Origin" to textbooks (such as Douglas Futuyma's "Evolution") to kids books (such as "Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be"). This program has been very popular with visitors to our web site and our Facebook page.

If you've missed my past messages about this or that excerpt, fear not! The excerpts are still accessible...and here, for your (and your readers') delectation:
