Happy Birthday Charles: Darwin would have been 200 years old in 2009, plus On The Origin of Species celebrates its 150th year since first publication!
“...one of the most arresting narrations of
non-fiction I have ever heard...the great naturalist’s arguments come
over with lucidity and charm.” Christina Hardyment, The Times.
"[Dawkins'] light, chatty, unprofessorial voice makes natural selection as easy to digest as chick lit" - The Guardian
"Having Richard Dawins read it makes a huge
difference...if Darwin via Dawkins tells me that the laws of
co-relative genetics decree that cats with blue eyes are often deaf,
that hairless dogs have bad teeth and that pigeons with short beaks
have small feet, I'll buy that..." Sue Arnold, The Guardian.
"Dawkins reads engagingly, and the whole effect is like David Attenborough without the pictures" - Karen Robinson, The Sunday Times
"A perfect present for the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth [in 2009]" - The Times
"Dawkins' narration and abridgement makes the text more accessible and precise" - The Bookseller
