In his latest book, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH: THE EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION, now available in paperback (Free Press, August 2010, $16.99), controversial scientist, philosopher, and atheist Richard Dawkins writes in the preface, “The evidence for evolution grows by the day, and has never been stronger. At the same time, paradoxically, ill-informed opposition is also stronger than I can remember. This book is my personal summary of the evidence that the ‘theory’ of evolution is actually a fact — as incontrovertible a fact as any in science.” Dawkins, who has also written such tomes as THE GOD DELUSION, THE SELFISH GENE, and A DEVIL’S CHAPLAIN, will be at the Cooper Union on September 29 for a free reading and discussion about THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, followed by a book signing. Dawkins loves the spotlight, so this should be an entertaining and enlightening evening.
