Opis
'Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.' Sunday Times
'It may be a collection of shorter parts, but the book is in no sense
Dawkins made simple. It amounts to a substantive whole which offers a
unitary panoramic view across his entire intellectual life.' Spectator
Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt
Ridley and more, this is an essential guide to the most exciting ideas
of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science
communicator.
Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating
nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith. For the first time,
it brings together Richard Dawkins' forewords, afterwords and
introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age -
Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - with a
selection of his reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of
science writing, both fiction and non-fiction. It is also a sparkling
addition to Dawkins' own remarkable canon of work.
Plenty of other scientists write well, but no one writes like Dawkins...
here is Dawkins the teacher, the scholar, the polemicist, the joker, the
aesthete, the poet, the satirist, the man of compassion as well as
indignation, the slayer of superstition and, above all, the scientist. -
