Eldredge is the author of many books including "Reinventing Darwin: The Great Debate at the High Table of Evolutionary Theory" and "The Triumph of Evolution...And the Failure of Creationism." Dr. Eldredge will be introduced by David Helfand, Chair of the Department of Astronomy at Columbia University. SEATING IS LIMITED. CALL (888) 973-4463 TO RSVP. Presented by: The World Can't Wait!
