Humes on evolution

The latest Publishers Lunch Weekly says that Ecco will publish Pulitzer-winning journalist and author Edward Humes' next book, Monkey Girl. It's "about the modern-day Scopes trial taking place in schools across the country, giving both the Creationism and evolution schools of thought equal and elaborate attention."

Also: Gary Andrew Poole's The Galloping Ghost: Red Grange, C.C. Pyle and the Partnership that Changed Sports Forever sold to Houghton Mifflin.
