How did the replication bomb we call " Life" begin and where in the
world or rather, in the universe, is it heading? Writing with
characteristic wit and an ability to clarify complex phenomena (the "The
New York Times" described his style as " the sort of science writing
that makes the reader feel like a genius" ), Richard Dawkins confronts
the ancient mystery. " Dawkins is above all a masterly expositor, a
writer who understands the issues so clearly that he forces his readers
to understand them too. "River Out of Eden" displays these virtues to
the full." - "-New York Times Book Review" " Dawkins has gone to the
heart of his subject and presented it with energy, insight, verve." --
"Los Angeles Times" " [River Out of Eden] abounds with metaphors that
make things brilliantly clear....an excellent introduction to many
important evolutionary ideas." -- "Nature"
