Dawkins has a gift for making science enjoyable ... [ He is] one of the greatest scientific writers/explainers of all time. * Bill Gates * From the first sentence it reads with the force and fluency of a classic ... a luminous, authoritative prose that transcends age differences * The Times * Stunning in appearance ... the book is a triumph * New Scientist * The text is persuasive whatever one's age ... the chapter on rainbows has the clearest explanation of how they appear that I've ever seen * Financial Times * I wanted to write this book but I wasn't clever enough. Now I've read it, I am -- Ricky Gervais Prodigiously illustrated and beautifully designed ... I cannot think of a better, or simpler, introduction to science * Guardian * A charming and free-ranging history of science * The Sunday Times * It's the clearest and most beautifully written introduction to science I've ever read. Again and again I found myself saying "Oh! So that's how genes work!" (or stars, or tectonic plates, or all the other things he explains). Explanations I thought I knew were clarified; things I never understood were made clear for the first time -- Philip Pullman The Magic of Reality provides a beautiful, accessible and wide ranging volume that addresses the questions that all of us have about the universe...written with the masterful and eloquently literate style of perhaps the best popular expositor of science, Richard Dawkins, and delightfully illustrated by Dave McKean. What more could anyone ask for? -- Lawrence Krauss, author of Quantum Man, and A Universe from Nothing This book may be exactly what's needed to increase science literacy for readers of all ages * Publishers Weekly *
