The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins

5.0

---

Written for younger readers, ‘The Magic of Reality’ is a superb, easy to understand introduction to science and the scientific method. Dawkins puts biology, geology and astronomy in terms that anyone can understand, while simultaneously infusing every syllable with a sense of wonder and awe. His passion for science, all science, is downright contagious - making this an ideal book for that budding astrophysicist or anthropologist in the family (or that scientifically illiterate relation who still swears by astrology or dianetics or Oral Roberts).
