I read this book many years ago, but I still remember its wonderfully delivered prose and the next-level fascination that it delivered. It's challenging, but well worth the effort. It'll make you see life and evolution in a whole new way (if you aren't already familiar with the message of The Selfis...
And adults would enjoy this one too. Lot of information put into concise and interesting ways. As Richard Dawkins is aiming at young readers, he made things simple, direct and readily comprehensible. As I got the hard cover with lot of color pages, it is a wonderful read. Good coffee table book i...
When Creationists argue (and they still do) that there is no evidence for evolution or that we lack sufficient evidence of intermediate species or whatever, it is always useful to have this book as a reference point. It is an interminable read, I have to say, but someone somewhere had to do this job...
I have issues with a couple things in this book (comparing religious indoctrination to sexual abuse, mainly), but overall I'm really glad that I read it. Even more glad that I went back and *re-read* it almost immediately, because it is not the type of book you just breeze through once. There are po...
This took me a while to get through, not because it was bad, but because there is a lot of information and material to get through and understand (and I had to take multiple breaks to get away from the realistic, logical arguments and read something fun).Overall, I think this was very well written. ...
The first time I tried to read this book, I gave it up within about three pages, convinced that it was far too narrowly focused and inadequately researched to be a worthwhile criticism of religion.

The controversial of this book came from philosophers who read books by the title only. If they have really read the book, they wouldn't come the wrong conclusion and asked Richard Dawkins stupid questions during public lecture. Yes. It is about gene. Our gee, without really any actual thought at ...
Wszystko może być Bogiem, chodzi chyba o to aby mieć właściwy system wartości. Jeżeli jednak religia przejmuje nad nami kontrolę to utrudnia nam ona racjonalne postrzeganie świata.

A good read for those who need to argue against "intelligent design" theories with obstreperous relatives during the holidays. I really liked his mathematical perspectives, deconstructing seemingly impossible statistics and showing how they are indeed quite reasonable.
