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.©2009 Richard Dawkins; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster Biología Ciencia Ciencias Biológicas Evolución Evolución y Genética Historia natural Paleontología Para reflexionar De suspenso

I listened to this audiobook while visiting underwater world. Pink dolphins, baby sharks, strange jellyfish! Looking at all the amazing sea life really intensified the words from Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward and made me appreciate the evidence for natural selection even more! I am going to re-listen next week while visiting the zoo!

Extremely moving!

This books lays out all the best evidence for evolution in a way that is accessible to the layperson. Dawkins makes the point many times that the scientific consensus that evolution enjoys is a result of MANY separate lines of investigation all pointing to the same conclusion. The book even has some of the anti-religious vitriol that I loved in the God Delusion.

Informative and inspiring

Provides a good overview of major topics in the defense of evolutionary theory. Expects that many readers don't have a lot of prior knowledge on the subject and explains each concept in a way that's easy to follow. The book covers the reasons why the facts support the theory as well as why they point away from the alternate idea of direct supernatural design. Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward take turns reading throughout, and both of them are very pleasant and expressive narrators to listen to.

Good overview of the case for evo theory

An inviting look at evolution. Dawkins has a way of entertaining while he disseminates information and personal thoughts. I highly recommend all of his works.

Another hit by an inspirational author...

Dawkins is a fantastic teacher of evolutionary science. He has a thorough understanding of what concepts need to be emphasized and what can be glossed over while still maintaining interest. I really enjoyed listening to him.

Fantastic teacher
