"...likely to have something new for both teachers and researchers, and may be of interest to general readers hoping to learn more about the psychological underpinnings of people's understanding (or misunderstanding) and acceptance (or rejection) of evolution. This is an important book on an important set of topics, sure to elevate discussion (if not alleviate stress) when it comes to the challenges of teaching and learning about evolution." --Tania Lombrozo, Reports of the National Center for Science Education

Some of the most notable strengths of this edited volume include: unprecedented disciplinary diversity--more than 30 contributors from cognitive developmental psychology, evolutionary biology, paleontology, science education, educational psychology, and informal education; broad conceptual coverage of evolution education--notably cognition, folkbiology, micro- and macroevolution, and museum education; an assembly of accomplished authors well-known for their scholarship in the growing field of evolution education. No books in the crowded field of evolutionary biology come close to tackling such a rich array of topics. This reason alone makes Evolution Challenges essential reading for anyone with an interest in science education. Evolution Challenges is without question one of the most outstanding scholarly titles on evolution education that I have read in the past 20 years." --Ross H. Nehm, Science & Education
