Then in 2006, Dawkins wrote The God Delusion, transforming the world's cultural and intellectual landscape once again with this takedown of religious faith. In this carefully curated collection of forty-two pieces of his shorter work, Dawkins focuses on what science is and how it is done, the inexhaustible wonders of nature, the importance of critical thinking, and the great minds who have changed his life--including Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan, and Christopher Hitchens."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Science $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Essays. 941 $a 1 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107052100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3ECE6DF2E25C11E8B947250B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
