An Appetite For Wonder: The Making of a Scientist

From innocent child to world-famous scientist, Richard Dawkins paints a colourful, richly-textured canvas of his early life. Honest self-reflection and witty anecdote are interspersed with touching reminiscences of his best-loved family and friends, literature, poetry and songs. We are finally able to understand the private influences that shaped the public man who, more than anyone else in his generation, has explained the origins of humankind. This is the first of two volumes, with the second instalment to follow in 2015.
