The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins
4.0
Gorgeous book, Dawkins answers many of the basic questions children and adults have- who was the first person? What is day and night? Why do bad things happen? with the power of science. Chapters typically start with several myths from different cultures that people have used to explain phenomenon before patiently explaining *why* things work as we know them- or, the magic of reality. It is a far, far better thing to find out why things work than to just toss them to the supernatural because that's giving up.
My only quibbles are minor- Dawkins using British spelling and lingo, which make sense since he *is* a British scientist... but I digress.
The art is excellent; Dave McKean has previously done work for Neil Gaiman's Coraline, covers for Sandman, etc.
