Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton's unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don't lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. \u003cbr\u003eWith the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. Unweaving the Rainbow is a brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn't), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting.","brand":"MARINER BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51566199439650,"sku":"9780618056736-new","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9780618056736.jpg?v=1777011487","url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/products\/unweaving-rainbow-science-delusion-appetite-wonder-9780618056736-new","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
