　　Did Newton "unweave the rainbow" by reducing it to its

prismatic colors, as Keats contended? 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. With

the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a

best-selling 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. This is the book

Richard Dawkins was meant to write: a brilliant assessment of what

science is (and isn't), a tribute to science not because it is

useful but because it is uplifting.
