DAWKINS, RICHARD; MCKEAN, DAVE (ILLUSTRATIONS). The Magic Of Reality: How We Know What's Really True.
Free Press, New York: 2011. Fourth Printing. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
Packed with clever thought experiments, dazzling illustrations and jaw-dropping facts, The Magic of Reality explains a stunningly wide range of natural phenomena. What is stuff made of? How old is the universe? Why do continents look like disconnected pieces of a puzzle? What causes tsunamis? Why are there so many kinds of plants and animals? Who was the first man, or woman? This is a page-turning, graphic detective story that not only mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think like a scientist as well. Includes an Index. "I am often asked to recommend good books on science for young people. From now on, I will not have to hesitate. The Magic of Reality provides a beautiful, accessible and wide ranging volume that addresses the questions that all of us have about he universe, separating often too-little-known facts from too-frequently-believed fictions. For this reason, it should be a powerful resource for people of all ages, written with the masterful and eloquently literate style of perhaps the best popular expositor of science, Richard Dawkins, and delightfully illustrated by Dave McKean. What more could one ask for?" - Lawrence Krauss, Foundation Professor of the Origins Project at Arizona State University and author of Quantum Man and A Universe from Nothing
