Synopsis
The Blind Watchmaker is a 1986 book by Richard Dawkins in which he presents an explanation of, and argument for, the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. He also presents arguments to refute certain criticisms made on his previous book The Selfish Gene. (Both books are intended to popularise the gene-centric view of evolution.)
Reviews
On Jul 17 2011, AnUncommonComplaint said:
An amazing ride into the theory of evolution... If you had a vague notion of how natural selection operated but wanted to know just a little more, this book delivers. Brilliantly written to make the topic accessible to anyone with half a brain, Dawkins takes you so far down the road of understanding evolution that you actually see the world differently.
