In An Appetite for Wonder Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of the first 35 years of his life from early childhood in Africa to publication of The Selfish Gene in 1976, when he shot to fame as one of the most exciting new scientists of his generation. In Brief Candle in the Dark he continues his autobiography, following the threads that have run through the second half of his life so far & homing in on the key individuals, institutions & ideas that inspired & motivated him. He paints a vivid picture, coloured with wit, anecdote & digression, of the twenty-five postgraduate years he spent teaching at Oxford. He pays affectionate tribute to past colleagues & students, recalling the idiosyncrasies of an establishment steeped in ancient tradition & arcane ritual while also recording his respect for the profound commitment to learning & discovery that lies at its core. He invites us to share the life of a travelling scientist, from fieldwork on the Panama Canal to conferences of stratospheric eminence in exotic locations in the company of some of the most prominent of the world`s scientific luminaries. And he describes his experiences with his many publishers, television producers, interviewers & partners in debate, not least in the heady period when, after publication of The God Delusion in 2006, he is dubbed the world`s most outspoken & controversial atheist. Most important of all, for the first time he reviews with fresh & stimulating insights the evolving narrative of his ideas about science over the course of his highly distinguished career as thinker, teacher & writer. In Brief Candle in the Dark we are invited to enter with him a constantly stimulating world of discovery & to meet a fascinating cast of exceptional characters described by the talented pen of one of the most exceptional of them all. ...

Sharp & enjoyable new portraits of the English kings & queens. Hunchbacked Richard III, the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I, the grieving widow Victoria, & the romantic who gave up his throne for love, Edward VIII

Carolly Erickson`s sensitive & revealing portrayals bring new life to the big names, & light up some of our most neglected but intriguing royals. Here is the puny Charles I, nervous, tense & socially awkward, the frail slight Richard II, melancholic & sad, the homosexual James I with his handsome favourites, & the stuttering William II. Every monarch from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II is covered. Award winning historian Erickson tells the human stories with her characteristic blend of authenticity, engaging style & psychological insight.
