April 12 - 6 pm Richard Dawkins
Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
When Newton reduced the rainbow to its prismatic colors, did he reduce
the beauty of the thing itself? With wit, insight, and spellbinding
prose, Richard Dawkins leads readers to see that the solution is often
more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mystery. The most
compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to
language and virtual reality, are combined in his landmark statement of
the human appetite for wonder.
