Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be, a kids evolution book, has won the 2010 Lane Anderson Award. The reason I mention this is because of this blog post which discusses how the book is published in Canada but not the US.
This bit of the post is interesting:
Loxton has reported receiving hate mails asking as to why his book doesn't give "equal time" to Intelligent Design". Loxton, an editor of the Skeptic magazine, has the answer ready - the book is about science and not religion.
It may not be published in the US but Amazon will still sell it to you! Imma give a copy or two of Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be as Holiday Gifts this year!

You see, the…
