Blind Watchmaker Reviews

  Riccardo Audano

  Great book with a great title. Richard Dawkings is an absolute master in using controversy and philosophical disputes to smuggle fundamental knowledge about evolutionary biology that could otherwise be seen as intimidating or just plain boring by a layman. Just look at some

  The Blind Watchmaker is a fantastic read whether you believe in evolution or not. Dr. Richard Dawkins has made the theory of evolution understandable to me even though I am not a scientist and have only a limited knowledge of what the theory actually is. I got out of this

  With a topic like evolution / intelligent design, you are bound to get some blind 5 star reviews from people who believe the general idea of evolution without really understanding it, and some blind 1 2 star reviews from people who do not actually WANT to understand it but

  I have read his The God Delusion and was already familiar with Dr. Dawkins style. This book was another level. He interspersed biology and physics in impressive detail, while tackling a philosophical discussion. He has dealt each chapter like an honest educator, who gives

  The Blind Watchmaker is the antithesis of the take no position surveys that are regularly served up as scientific literacy booster shots. In these books the author, frequently a journalist, earnestly runs around interviewing a bevy of competing scientists who,

  The cover of Richard Dawkins book states Why the evidence of evolution reveals a universe without design. I think the task of trying to write a book that can unequivocally demonstrate that life arose without any designer input is an exceedingly difficult task.

  I am curently 1/3 of the way through and cant put it down. Dawkins describes the concepts in immacualte detail and isnt afraid of offending in pursuit of the truth. The book itself is good quality and thinner than a usual 400+ page book.

  Arguably Dawkins best book, The Blind Watchmaker is exactly what the doctor ordered for the American religious fundamentalist epidemic that has plagued its society with dogmatically closed minded, kindergarten level refutations of evolution for too long. Unfortunately, this book is needed as much as ever over 30 years after it was written, and the reason for that has been shown to me over and over again in my personal life: the people who need most to understand the content of this book never read than a few pages before giving up. That said, the well articulated and technical descriptions are well worth the investment of concentration that the book asks of you.

  Some days ago I received the book and, to be honest, I have never ordered used books on before. So to say, I was prepared for the worst outcome :) Turned out that the book was in excellent condition. I am pleasantly surprised and will definitely order next book the same way to save some money. ☀️
