I always wanted to get myself his Oxford Book on Modern Science Writing, but it was until now only available in expensive Hardcover.

The brand new book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution was released on my birthday as a sign from God. Well perhaps not.

As the cover and name would suggest it is a book on the evidence for evolution. His previous books where all on the process of evolution, his gene centered view in his first book; The Selfish Gene, the process of natural selection and the improbabilities of the forming of complex systems is covered in TBW and CMI. The Ancestors Tale was a rather long walk to the origins of life from modern man. This new book now delves into why we know evolution is true, by using evidence gathered through various areas of the sciences. The Greatest Show on Earth

Two must have books in my opinion. But I first need to wait, as I have about three unread books and another two from A.C Grayling on order.
