Science Books

I posted this over at Pharyngula yesterday, in response to a post about science and creationist books:


In my local Waldenbooks, I had to ASK where the science section was. The answer: "You'll find the science books under 'Nature and Pets'". Sure enough, there they were, two measly shelves and maybe 30 random books. You couldn't miss the floor to ceiling "New Age" section, or the several shelves packed full of several flavors of bibles. It's no wonder the state of education on science is where it is.
