{"product_id":"move-over-scopes-julian-silva-9781933227337","title":"Move Over, Scopes: And Other Writings Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMove Over, Scopes and Other Writings\u003c\/i\u003e both extends Julian Silva's richly-textured portrait of Portuguese-American community life in his narrative diptych, \u003ci\u003eDistant Music\u003c\/i\u003e, and enlarges it to include subjects as varied as backbiting London theatre has-beens (\"The Waxworks Show\"), a final pilgrimage to the Brontë parsonage (\"A Visit to Haworth\"), and recollections of a Japanese-American babysitter interned following Pearl Harbor (\"Kimi\"). As always, Silva is fully attentive to descriptive detail and apt choice of metaphor--nowhere more so than in recalling livestock being raised and dispatched in \"Coming to Terms with the Facts of Animal Life.\" The novella \u003ci\u003eMove Over, Scopes\u003c\/i\u003e, however, does it all, as Henry Ramos attempts to mollify fellow Portuguese-American Catholics--led by his own wife Louise--outraged over Estelle Dobson teaching Darwin's theory of evolution. Twists and turns include machinations of a hotly contested School Board election and the need to resist Miss Dobson's seductive appeal. At a time when Creationism may be making a come-back, \u003ci\u003eMove Over, Scopes\u003c\/i\u003e could not be more timely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Silva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1933227338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933227337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tagus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.33w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 202","brand":"Julian Silva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519655686399,"sku":"9781933227337","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d17a17ee-0b66-4d5f-a115-7d6cbcb407b7.jpg?v=1778738046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/move-over-scopes-julian-silva-9781933227337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
