He revolutionized the way we see natural selection in the seminal bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Selfish Gene\u003c\/i\u003e. Now, he launches a fierce counterattack against proponents of \"Intelligent Design\" in his \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Show on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Intelligent Design\" is being taught in our schools; educators are being asked to \"teach the controversy\" behind evolutionary theory. There is no controversy. Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence--from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics--to make the airtight case that \"we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection.\" His unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument, exposing the absurdities of the creationist position, into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Dawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1416594795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416594796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.48w x 1.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/2010 pg. 24","brand":"Richard Dawkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051601817855,"sku":"9781416594796","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73c07776-4650-400a-abe1-03f85a2bd2b4.jpg?v=1685014061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-greatest-show-on-earth-richard-dawkins-9781416594796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
