Skeptic: Promoting Science and Critical Thinking

This essay collection from the the master science writer and Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, covers diverse topics examined through the lens of natural selection: education, ape rights, jury trials, the vindication of Darwinism; memes; religion, academic obscurantism; Stephen Jay Gould; Douglas Adams; pseudoscience; and his awe at the marvelous complexity of the universe. As always, Dawkins writes with clarity and passion, and these are some of his finest essays never published in any of his previous books.
