"A Devil's Chaplain is a personal, intriguing selection of writing which represents a portrait of one of the finest minds in science." "This selection includes key writings from his extensive output and Richard Dawkins himself has provided new introductions to each topic covered. The result demonstrates the breadth of his interests, the sheer quality of his writing and the challenging nature of his trenchantly held views. Whether writing on the many aspects of evolution or on science in general, on dead comrades or on travel or literature, on education or religion, he is often provocative, but never less than highly influential. Uncompromising, even ruthless as Richard Dawkins famously is when defending scientific truth and reason, this collection also shows a gentler, more contemplative side which may surprise his many readers."--BOOK JACKET
