Local author meets and greets at Barnes and Noble

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 10:36:52 -0600

Park Cities native Barrett Brown will be signing copies of his new book, "Flock of Dodos," at 7 p.m. Friday, March 23, at Prestonwood's Barnes and Noble.

What is creationism? Is it science, theology, both, neither?
Who's behind it? What does it mean for Western Civilization?
And why should you give a damn in the first place?

In Flock of Dodos, National Lampoon veteran Barrett Brown and Professor of Sociology Jon P. Alston, Ph.D, answer these questions—and perhaps one or two others—in a superbly unorthodox and serenely offensive look at the forces behind the most talked-about pseudo-theory in modern history.
