Prospect magazine voted him among the top three public intellectuals in the world (along with Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky). Now Dawkins turns his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes.    He critiques God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. In so doing, he makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just irrational, but potentially deadly.    Dawkins has fashioned an impassioned, rigorous rebuttal to religion, to be embraced by anyone who sputters at the inconsistencies and cruelties that riddle the Bible, bristles at the inanity of "intelligent design," or agonizes over fundamentalism in the Middle East-or Middle America.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1922839</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1922839</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1922839161</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781400123780&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Blind Watchmaker]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C813568</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C813568</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 1996 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/813568161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals A Universe Without Design</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780393315707&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Blind Watchmaker]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C710334</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C710334</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1986 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/710334161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780393304480&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Magic of Reality]]></title><description><![CDATA[The author of "The God delusion" addresses key scientific questions previously explained by rich mythologies, from the evolution of the first humans and the life cycle of stars to the principles of a rainbow and the origins of the universe.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C178208</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C178208</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/178208161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How We Know What&apos;s Really True</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781439192818&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flights of Fancy]]></title><description><![CDATA[Have you ever dreamt you could fly?

In Flights of Fancy, Richard Dawkins explains how nature and humans have learned to overcome the pull of gravity and take to the skies. From the mythical Icarus, to the sadly extinct but spectacular bird Argentavis magnificens, from the Wright flyer and the 747, to the Tinkerbella fairyfly and the Peregrine falcon. But it is also about flights of the mind, about escaping the everyday - through science, ideas and imagination.

Such readings are already uncovering the remarkable ways animals overcome obstacles, adapt to their environments, and, again and again, develop remarkably similar ways of solving life's problems.

For decades, Richard Dawkins has been the world's most brilliant scientific communicator, consistently illuminating the wonders of nature and attacking faulty logic. Science in the Soul brings together forty-two essays, polemics, and paeans--all written with Dawkins's characteristic erudition, remorseless wit, and unjaded awe of the natural world. Though it spans three decades, this book couldn't be more timely or more urgent. Elected officials have opened the floodgates to prejudices that have for half a century been unacceptable or at least undercover. In a passionate introduction, Dawkins calls on us to insist that reason take center stage and that gut feelings, even when they don't represent the stirred dark waters of xenophobia, misogyny, or other blind prejudice, should stay out of the voting booth. And in the essays themselves, newly annotated by the author, he investigates a number of issues, including the importance of empirical evidence, and decries bad science, religion in the schools, and climate-change deniers. Dawkins has equal ardor for "the sacred truth of nature" and renders here with typical virtuosity the glories and complexities of the natural world. Woven into an exploration of the vastness of geological time, for instance, is the peculiar history of the giant tortoises and the sea turtles--whose journeys between water and land tell us a deeper story about evolution. At this moment, when so many highly placed people still question the fact of evolution, Dawkins asks what Darwin would make of his own legacy--"a mixture of exhilaration and exasperation"--and celebrates science as possessing many of religion's virtues--"explanation, consolation, and uplift"--without its detriments of superstition and prejudice. In a world grown irrational and hostile to facts, Science in the Soul is an essential collection by an indispensable author. Advance praise for Science in the Soul "The illumination of Richard Dawkins's incisive thinking on the intellectual world extends far beyond biology. What a treat to see so clearly how matter and meaning fit together, from fiction to philosophy to molecular biology, in one unified vision!"--Daniel C. Dennett, author of From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds "I thank Thor and Zeus that in their infinite wisdom they chose to make the great wordsmith of our age a great rationalist, and vice versa."--Matt Ridley, author of The Evolution of Everything: How New Ideas Emerge "In this golden age of enlightened science writing, it is stunning that no scientist has won the Nobel Prize for Literature. It is time literature's highest award be granted to a scientist whose writings have changed not just science but society. No living scientist is more deserving of such recognition than Richard Dawkins.Science in the Soul is the perfect embodiment of Nobel-quality literature."--Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine, columnist for Scientific American, and author of The Moral Arc: How Science Makes Us Better People "Science in the Soul is packed with Dr. Dawkins's philosophy, humor, anger, and quiet wisdom, leading the reader gently but firmly to inevitable conclusions that edify and educate."--James Randi, author of The Faith Healers"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C491846</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C491846</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/491846161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Selected Writings of A Passionate Rationalist</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780399592249&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brief Candle in the Dark]]></title><description><![CDATA["Dawkins shares with us his infectious sense of wonder at the natural world, his enjoyment of the absurdities of human interaction, and his bracing awareness of life's brevity: all of which have made a deep imprint on our culture" -- provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C334499</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C334499</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/334499161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>My Life in Science</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780062288431&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brief Candle in the Dark]]></title><description><![CDATA["Dawkins shares with us his infectious sense of wonder at the natural world, his enjoyment of the absurdities of human interaction, and his bracing awareness of life's brevity: all of which have made a deep imprint on our culture" -- provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C340509</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C340509</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/340509161</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>My Life in Science</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780062416995&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Devil's Chaplain]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1033776</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1033776</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1033776161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780618335404&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item></channel></rss>
