The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True Review "Dawkins has a gift for making science enjoyable ... [He is] one of the greatest scientific writers/explainers of all time." (Bill Gates)"A charming and free-ranging history of science." (Sunday Times)"Prodigiously illustrated and beautifully designed ... I cannot think of a better, or simpler, introduction to science." (The Guardian)"The text is persuasive whatever one's age ... the chapter on rainbows has the clearest explanation of how they appear that I've ever seen." (The Financial Times)"It's the clearest and most beautifully written introduction to science I've ever read. Again and again I found myself saying "Oh! So that's how genes work!" (or stars, or tectonic plates, or all the other things he explains). Explanations I thought I knew were clarified; things I never understood were made clear for the first time."
