The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition»rank: 121par: Richard Dawkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lnheriting the mantle of revolutionary biologist from Darwin, Watson, and Crick, Richard Dawkins forced an enormous change in the way we see ourselves and the world with the publication of The Selfish Gene. Suppose, instead of thinking about organisms using genes to reproduce themselves, as we had since Mendel's work was rediscovered, we turn it around and imagine that 'our' genes build and maintain us in order to make more genes. That simple reversal seems ... |

Blind Watchmaker»rank: 13633par: Richard Dawkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Richard Dawkins is not a shy man. Edward Larson's research shows that most scientists today are not formally religious, but Dawkins is an in-your-face atheist in the witty British style: l want to persuade the reader, not just that the Darwinian world-view happens to be true, but that it is the only known theory that could, in principle, solve the mystery of our existence. The title of this 1986 work, Dawkins's second book, refers to ... |

Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder»rank: 12872par: Richard Dawkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Why do poets and artists so often disparage science in their work? For that matter, why does so much scientific literature compare poorly with, say, the phone book? After struggling with questions like these for years, biologist Richard Dawkins has taken a wide-ranging view of the subjects of meaning and beauty in Unweaving the Rainbow, a deeply humanistic examination of science, mysticism, and human nature. Notably strong-willed in a profession of bet-hedgers and wait-and-seers, Dawkins ... |

The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution»rank: 35973par: Richard Dawkins, Yan Wong
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Just as we trace our personal family trees from parents to grandparents and so on back in time, so in The Ancestor's Tale Richard Dawkins traces the ancestry of life. As he is at pains to point out, this is very much our human tale, our ancestry. Surprisingly, it is one that many otherwise literate people are largely unaware of. Hopefully Dawkins's name and well deserved reputation as a best selling writer will introduce them ... |

Climbing Mount Improbable»rank: 9099par: Richard Dawkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :How do species evolve? Richard Dawkins, one of the world's most eminent zoologists, likens the process to scaling a huge, Himalaya-size peak, the Mount lmprobable of his title. An alpinist does not leap from sea level to the summit; neither does a species utterly change forms overnight, but instead follows a course of 'slow, cumulative, one-step-at-a-time, non-random survival of random variants'--a course that Charles Darwin, Dawkins's great hero, called natural selection. lllustrating his arguments with ... |
