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.
