Richard Dawkins: Science in the Soul: Selected Writings - CANCELED

In a world grown irrational and hostile to facts, Science in the Soul is an essential collection by an indispensable author.

Richard Dawkins' latest book is Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate Rationalist. In it the legendary biologist, provocateur, and bestselling author mounts a timely and passionate defense of science and clear thinking. Though it spans three decades, this book couldn't be more timely. Dawkins calls on us to insist that reason take center stage and that gut feelings, even when they don't represent the stirred dark waters of xenophobia, misogyny, or other blind prejudice, should stay out of the voting booth. Dawkins has equal ardor for "the sacred truth of nature" and renders here with typical virtuosity the glories and complexities of the natural world.
