Science in the Soul is a kaleidoscopic argument for the power & glory of science: the wonder of scientific discovery; the practical necessity of scientific endeavour to society; & the importance of the scientific way of thinking
- particularly in today`s `post-truth` world. With an introduction & new commentary by the author in dialogue with himself across the years, the essays, journalism, lectures & letters gathered here range over subjects from evolution & Darwinian natural selection to the role of scientist as prophet, whether science is itself a religion, the probability of alien life in other worlds, & the beauties, cruelties & oddities of earthly life in this one. A sparkling showcase for his rapier wit, the clarity, precision & vigour he brings to an argument, the beauty of his prose, the depth of his feeling & his capacity for joy, Science in the Soul is further evidence of Richard Dawkins` status as one of science`s all-time great communicators.
