The Greatest Show on Earth

I've been reading Dawkin's latest book, "The Greatest Show on Earth". I have little interest in Dawkin's puerile philosophy and theology, so I avoided "The God Delusion". But when it comes to science writing, Dawkins is very, very good. His style is direct and engaging, and he has a great knack for explaining difficult ideas. So far, "The Greatest Show on Earth" is an impressive book. I predict it will become the standard "defence text" for evolution, and will set the parameters for the ongoing creationism debate.
