An elegant, text-only edition of the New York Times bestseller that's been hailed as the definitive authority on...everything by Richard Dawkins.Richard Dawkins, bestselling author and the world's most celebrated evolutionary biologist, has spent his career elucidating the many wonders of science. Here, he takes a broader approach and uses his unrivaled explanatory powers to illuminate the ways in which the world really works.
