Dr. Alan Rogers has been teaching evolution to college students for thirty years. Until recently, he seldom spent much time arguing that evolution happens. He took that for granted and launched directly into his real love--the mechanisms of evolution. This has lately begun to look like a mistake. According to polling data, most Americans doubt that evolution is a real phenomenon. How can one teach students how evolution works if they doubt that it happens at all?

As soon as this dawned on him, he began looking for a text on evidence--something to assign during the first couple of weeks of his introductory course. Many of the books he found seemed to assume that the reader needed only to be told about evolution, not convinced.

In the end he wrote his own book, which covers the evidence for evolution and nothing more. It does not merely summarize received wisdom; it recounts the give and take between skeptical scientists who first asked "how can we be sure" and then answered those questions with evidence.
