Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate Rationalist by Richard Dawkins
4.0
The Dawkins Sampler
Full spectrum Richard D. with essays, articles, speeches and letters. Dawkins as evolutionary biologist, political activist, advocate for reason, purveyor of knowledge, and slayer of superfluous hogwash and evangelical claptrap.
If you are unfamiliar with Dawkins as a writer, this might be a great place to start. If you are a fan, as I am, this is a front row seat in his proverbial choir. Covering a time span from 1979 (Dawkins at age 38) to 2017 (Dawkins at age 76), there is an admirable consistency of ethical intellectualism and grace at play here - I know of no other author, other than the late, great Christopher Hitchens, that even comes close.
