Kip,

You do realize that morphball already recommended the book. But, glad you did too as maurile provided a link to it free.

Thanks all, been looking for some Dawkins to read.

Yeah, I saw that after I responded. But, now the OP has two links. One to buy the book, and one to read it for free! Hopefully he'll read it to get a more balanced view of Evolution.

I'm reading "The Selfish Gene" right now. And I also have "Unweaving the Rainbow" on my shelf to read.

Here's a quote from the back of the book:

[ QUOTE ]
Did Newton "unweave the rainbow" by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins: Newton's unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don't lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries.
