Richard Dawkins, bestselling author and the world's most celebrated
evolutionary biologist, has spent his career elucidating the many
wonders of science. Here, he takes a broader approach and uses his
unrivaled explanatory powers to illuminate the ways in which the
world really works. Filled with clever thought experiments and
jaw-dropping facts, "The Magic of Reality" explains a stunningly
wide range of natural phenomena: How old is the universe? Why do
the continents look like disconnected pieces of a jigsaw puzzle?
What causes tsunamis? Why are there so many kinds of plants and
animals? Who was the first man, or woman? Starting with the
magical, mythical explanations for the wonders of nature, Dawkins
reveals the exhilarating scientific truths behind these
occurrences. This is a page-turning detective story that not only
mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think
like a scientist as well.

The Magic of Reality
Tue, 10 Nov 2015 | Review
by: Angela K.
This book is splendid for enquiring minds - children especially who wonder about the world, the sciences, some philosophical thoughts, a typical Dawkins brush with god, and of course his marvellous clever and beautiful use of language. Highly recommended for questioning minds.
