Concisus Vitae

GrrlScientist is an evolutionary biologist, ornithologist, aviculturist, birder and freelance science and nature writer. A native of the Pacific Northwest, she relocated from Seattle to NYC with her parrots after earning a BS in Microbiology (emphasis in Virology) and PhD in Zoology (Ornithology) from the University of Washington. In NYC, she was the Chapman Postdoctoral Fellow at the American Museum of Natural History for two years, pursuing part of her "dream" research project by reconstructing a molecular phylogeny of the parrots of the South Pacific islands. GrrlScientist and her five parrots are currently relocating to Germany, where she will continue writing her blog while also writing a book and learning German. (Meanwhile, her parrots will continue to nibble on her extensive personal library.) If you appreciate GrrlScientist's writing, you can help pay her living expenses by hiring her to "blog" your conference, speak at your club or write articles for your publication (or by clicking on the Paypal button below). If you read an essay on this blog that you especially enjoyed, please nominate it for inclusion in OpenLab2009.

Science, Evolution, and Creationism -- The Free Download

Topic Categories: Evolution
Posted on: January 3, 2008 8:36 PM, by "GrrlScientist"

tags: , ,

The National Academy of Sciences Press has revised their excellent book, Science, Evolution, and Creationism, which you can download for free. The book is a revision of an older version, which I own a hard copy of, and it has chapters on the nature of science, the evidence for evolution, and creationist claims. To receive the complete book as a free download [free PDF], you need to sign in, first. (You can get an 8-page summary PDF for free without signing in first).

Thank you submitting your post to the Carnival of Homeschooling and reachng out to us! There are a lot of homeschoolers who can really use more evolution resources in particular but secular science resources in general as most stuff directed at us comes from a very narrow and specific Christian creationist perspective. It's great to look around and realize there are some people in science who are willing to lend us a hand in educating our kids.
