A fun book with an easy approach which ambles along nicely. A little repetitive in a couple of places but a book everyone, especially youngsters, should read

The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True is a science book written by renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, aimed at explaining complex scientific concepts to a general audience. The book explores a range of topics, from the Big Bang and evolution to quantum physics and genetics, and seeks to demystify these subjects by presenting them in an accessible and engaging way.
Dawkins draws on the latest scientific research and theories to explain how we know what we know about the world, and challenges common myths and misconceptions along the way. He also explores the role of science in society, and argues that a scientific worldview can provide a sense of wonder and meaning that rivals traditional religious beliefs.

Parts about reality are awesome, interesting and inspiring... but there are too much examples of myths and legends...

Richard elegantly describes how truth is beautiful. Throughout the book, he describes how people are captivated by and use myths (old & new) to explain how the world works. After each myth, he explains the truth behind things like seasons, rainbows, the beginning of life, and time travel.
Richard argues that the truth is mysterious, intriguing and beautiful; and I agree. Read this if you want a brief introduction to the way things work.

Reading this book is like talking to a former classmate about your old science classes.
