  • - Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
    by Richard Dawkins
    £9.49

    A dazzling, passionate polemic against anti-science movements of all kinds. Keats accused Newton of destroying the poetry of the rainbow by explaining the origin of its colours. In this illuminating and provocative book, Richard Dawkins argues that Keats could not have been more mistaken, and shows how an understanding of science enhances our wonder of the world. He argues that mysteries do not lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution is often more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering even deeper mysteries. Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement on the human appetite for wonder.

  • - En pilgrimsrejse til livets begyndelse
    by Richard Dawkins & Yan Wong
    £10.49

    Kom med på en pilgrimsvandring på livets vej. Den starter i nutiden, hvor vi mennesker begiver os tilbage mod fortiden og vores forfædre. Undervejs møder vi vores slægtninge, som alle har en historie at fortælle: først chimpanser, så de andre aber, senere gnavere, krybdyr, fisk og mange andre, helt tilbage til encellede mikroorganismer og livets oprindelse. Gennem fortællingerne hører vi om de processer, der tilsammen former livets udvikling. Richard Dawkins' indsigtsfulde og opfindsomme tilgang til emnet gør det muligt at vise forbindelserne mellem os og alle andre levende væsener på en ny og spændende måde. Han benytter også lejligheden til at fortælle mere om nogle af de fængslende aspekter af evolutionær historie og teori: kønnet formering, artsdannelse, evolutionær konvergens, udryddelse, genetik, pladetektonik, geografisk udbredelse og meget mere. Vores forfædres fortælling kommer vidt omkring i den fascinerende historie om livet på Jorden og viser os, hvor bemærkelsesværdige vi er, hvor forbløffende en historie vi har, og hvor tæt vi er forbundet med alt levende.
