Richard Dawkins transformed our view of God in his blockbuster, The God Delusion, which sold millions of copies in English alone. He revolutionized the way we see natural selection in the seminal bestseller The Selfish Gene . Now, he launches a fierce counterattack against proponents of Intelligent Design in his New York Times bestseller, The Greatest Show on Earth . 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.

No Longer a Theory
this is a well written statement of all the facts that show evolution is real and not just hypotheisis, Dawkins carefully outlines all the facts that have developed since Darwin in a lucid and humorous style, Highly recommended.

One of the very best books on evolution
This book covers everything you need for a basic understanding of evolution; it's entertaining, it's solid, it's attractive, it's even well proofread. it dispels all the usual misunderstandings of evolution (missing links, directionality, etc.) and shows why natural selection is one of the solidest facts in science. If you want an introduction to the subject, this is about as good as you can get.

Truth in advertising
An intelligent analysis of evolution and the danger we are in with the right wing wackos, Should be required reading for all college level degree programs.
