Richard Dawkins

Discover the universe through the eyes of science with Richard Dawkins, the British evolutionary biologist, ethologist, and author who has done more than perhaps any other writer to bring the wonders of evolutionary biology and scientific rationalism to a general audience. Dawkins writes with clarity, passion, and a sense of wonder that makes even the most complex ideas accessible and thrilling. His landmark 1976 debut The Selfish Gene introduced the concept of the gene-centred view of evolution and coined the word “meme”. His other essential works include The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, The Ancestor’s Tale, and the global phenomenon The God Delusion. Whether you are new to evolutionary biology or a committed rationalist, Dawkins is essential reading.
