An Appetite for Wonder: The Making of a Scientist

An Appetite for Wonder is the first volume of world-famous evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins’s memoir of early life, from his childhood influences in colonial East Africa, through the publication of his world-changing bestselling book The Selfish Gene, still considered one of the most important books in all of science. “Told with frankness and eloquence, warmth and humor, this is…a truly entertaining and enlightening read and I recommend it to anyone who wants a better understanding of Dawkins the man and the rightful place of science in our modern world.” (Lawrence Krauss, author of A Universe from Nothing and Physics of Star Trek)
