COMMENT:A high-school level creationist textbook which oncentrates strictly on biology. Reflecting Kenyon's expertise, it includes a good amount of material arguing the chemical origin of life is impossible. This is a well-written book which brings out the intuitive appeal of an "intelligent design" explanation, and presents it in a attractive, well-illustrated package. While its account of why "orthodox" biologists accept evolution is misleading at best, <cite>Pandas</cite> at least avoids the blatantly silly distortions creationists are infamous for. A good introduction to a more sophisticated biology-based creationism.
