Description
The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True The natural world is full of extraordinary tales, from the ancient Egyptians' explanation of the night to the Vikings' belief in a rainbow as a bridge to earth. However, there's another kind of magic at play - the magic of reality, which is revealed through science. Dawkins explores a wide range of natural phenomena, including the composition of matter, the age of the universe, and the causes of tsunamis. This book is a page-turning detective story that mines the sciences for clues and primes the reader to think like a scientist. Dawkins' clear and exuberant writing style makes the wonders of the natural world accessible to all. With its inspiring explanations and thought-provoking ideas, The Magic of Reality is a text that will enlighten and inform for generations to come. Packed with humour and clever thought experiments, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone curious about the world around them.
