'A rich feast of his essays reviews forewords squibs and conversations in which talent and
passion are married to deep knowledge.' Matt Ridley 'Enjoy the unfailing clarity of his thought
and prose as well as the grandeur of his vision of life on Earth.' - Mark Cocker Spectator
'Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.' Sunday Times Including conversations
with Neil DeGrasse Tyson Steven Pinker Matt Ridley and more this is an essential guide to
the most exciting ideas of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science
communicator. Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme including celebrating nature
exploring humanity and interrogating faith. For the first time it brings together Richard
Dawkins' forewords afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of
our age - Carl Sagan Lawrence Krauss Jacob Bronowski Lewis Wolpert - with a selection of his
reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of science writing both fiction and
non-fiction. It is also a sparkling addition to Dawkins' own remarkable canon of work. Plenty
of other scientists write well but no one writes like Dawkins... here is Dawkins the teacher
the scholar the polemicist the joker the aesthete the poet the satirist the man of
compassion as well as indignation the slayer of superstition and above all the scientist. -
