THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. A sparkling new anthology of essays, lectures and letters by the brilliant evolutionary biologist, author of The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion.
With an introduction and new commentary by the author, subjects range from evolution and Darwinian natural selection to the role of scientist as prophet, whether science is itself a religion, the probability of alien life in other worlds, and the beauties, cruelties and oddities of earthly life in this one.
