Darwin and Lincoln

February 12th marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays. We have oodles of materials on both, but here are two of my favorites:

Evolution vs. Intelligent Design is a DVD of the fascinating Civic Engagement Project sponsored debate between renowned evolutionist Ken Miller and Berkeley law professor Phillip Johnson.

Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin is an insightful look at how our first Republican president won his party's nomination and then included his rivals in his landmark cabinet.
