520 1 _a"One of the most renowned evolutionary biologists at work today. Richard Dawkins has written passionately for years on subjects that matter deeply to him - and matter urgently to all of us. A Devil's Chaplain brings together the best and most provocative of his essays, on subjects ranging from evolution to ethics, from travel to literature, from education to religion. The result is an intriguing portrait of one of the finest minds in science." "With eloquence and vigor, these essays put forward Dawkin's most fundamental axiom: seek truth. He speaks out against pseudoscience and deftly dissects religion and mysticism. He writes infectiously of his awe at the marvelous complexity of the universe, pays moving tribute to dear friends and worthy colleagues, and tenderly recalls his boyhood in Africa. Uncompromising, even ruthless, as 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.
