Randy, I think you'll get a detailed response to your question if you
post to talk.origins. These books are frequently a topic of discussion.

Although I havn't read that particular book yet, I'll wager it has
alot of out-of-context quotes from workers in the evolutionary field
among other tools of deception.

Like I said, check out talk.origins.
