Note: The million copy international bestseller, critically acclaimed and translated into over 25 languages. As influential today as when it was first published, 'The Selfish Gene' has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution - a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for their replication.

Note: Originally published: London: Bantam Press, 2017 'Science in the Soul' is a kaleidoscopic argument for the power and the glory of science. Breathtaking, brilliant and passionate, the essays, journalism, lectures and letters in this collection make an unanswerable case for the wonder of scientific discovery and its power to stir the imagination.

Note: From innocent child to charismatic world-famous scientist, Richard Dawkins paints a colourful, richly textured canvas of his early life. Honest self-reflection and witty anecdotes are interspersed with touching reminiscences of his 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, explained our own origins.

Note: Originally published: London: Bantam Press, 2015 In 'An Appetite for Wonder' Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of the first 35 years of his life. In 'Brief Candle in the Dark' he continues his autobiography, following the threads that have run through the second half of his life so far and homing in on the key individuals, institutions and ideas that inspired and motivated him. He paints a vivid picture, coloured with wit, anecdote and digression, of the twenty-five postgraduate years he spent teaching at Oxford. He pays affectionate tribute to past colleagues and students, recalling with characteristic wry humour the idiosyncrasies of an establishment steeped in ancient tradition and arcane ritual while also recording his respect for the profound commitment to learning and discovery that lies at its core.
