Book Reviews of The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design
Book Review: finest book I've ever read, on any subject
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is, quite honestly, the finest book I've ever read, on any subject. I'm an economist by training, and economists have much in common with biologists and zoologists -- namely, an appreciation for how complex orders can emerge unplanned from the actions of individuals who do what they do with no thought of the larger patterns to which they contribute. Dawkins's work elevated greatly my understanding of natural-selection's ability to create order out of (seeming) chaos.
Dawkins's work also taught me something else: that obscure writing is never to be tolerated. This book, like all of Dawkins's work, conveys deep insight with remarkable clarity of expression.
