鈥淎 new form of science as literature鈥� is how reviewer Mark Pagel described Richard Dawkins鈥檚 The Ancestor鈥檚 Tale, which is now out in paperback (Phoenix, 拢9.99). He relished its subtle insights of scientific understanding 鈥� part poetry, part science 鈥� in service of the big idea that is evolutionary history. Particularly good reading right now as an antidote to the poisonous notion that a matter of faith or belief 鈥� intelligent design 鈥� could be treated as science.
