Book Reviews of The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing
Book Review: Must-read for the scientifically aware
Summary: 5 Stars
Without wishing to detract from the value of Dawkins' more polemical writings on atheism, it's good for a change to see this contribution to the understanding of science. The field is so vast that for the informed but non-academic reader (or even for the specialist in a limited science field) this compendium, with its instructive and insightful introductory comments is a real boon. Highly readable and "dippable" and thoroughly recommended.Book Review: Excellent selections
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent selections! This collection includes some of my favorites and many others that should be. This book serves as an encouragement to read much more. Thanks to RD for the choices.
One odd note: Doug H is referred to as "one-off among scientists". Later I noticed another mentioned as "another one-off".
Book Review: Beautiful book of science
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for every science lover. Moreover for every person who is truly interested about the wonders, mysteries and surprises of science. A book of intellectual honesty that should belong to any private or public library.Book Review: Richard Dawkins: Modern Science Writing
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic collection of important works and thoughts. Intelligent and insightful commentary explains background and significance of each entry.Book Review: Good for your brain!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dawkins as usual has collected brilliant pieces from other brilliant writers. I'm browsing it, read about half, love them all.
