The Greatest Show on Earth
Richard Dawkins
Dawkins had written repeatedly about how evolution works without ever setting out the case that it happened, and this is the book that fills the gap: fossils, dating, embryology, molecular comparison and observed selection in the wild. Published in 2009 by Free Press and Transworld.
Why you should read this
Dawkins lays out the evidence for evolution directly, fossils, genetics, geographical distribution, embryology, rather than arguing against creationism the way his earlier books did, aiming the case at general readers who want the science itself. Less combative in tone than The God Delusion, and written specifically to be handed to a skeptical reader.
