Summary:
"In the sequel to his memoir An Appetite for Wonder, Richard Dawkins delves into his intellectual life spent kick-starting new conversations about science, culture, and religion and the writing of his audacious book The God Delusion. He, mischievously, looks back on a lifetime of tireless intellectual adventure and engagement. exploring the halls of intellectual inquiry and stardom he encountered after the publication of his seminal work, The Selfish Gene; affectionately lampooning the world of academia, publishing, and television; and sharing funny stories about the great men and women he's known, Dawkins offers a candid look at the events and ideas that encouraged him to shift his attention to the intersection of culture, religion, and science. He also invites the reader to look more closely at the ten influential books that grew naturally out of his busy life, highlighting the ideas that connect them and excavating their origins. On the publication of The God Delusion, he was catapulted from mere intellectual stardom into a circle of celebrity thinkers dubbed, The New Atheists, including Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. Dawkins shares with us his infectious sense of wonder at the natural world, his enjoyment of the absurdities of human interaction, and his bracing awareness of life's brevity: all of which have made a deep imprint on our culture"--Provided by publisher.
