This a short, but brilliant account of Evolution over the eons.

The writing is lucid and ideas are communicated excellently; the occasional repetition of common sense, stated bluntly, (targeted mostly at superstitious people who believe in crop-circles, UFOs, alien invasion, and yes, creationism) by the author serves to introduce science and clarity of thought to the reader.

This is a must read book for any well educated person, and perhaps most importantly for educators, and academics.

I am still reading this wonderful book and just about to finish it but it is enough to judge that this book is beyond all doubts wonderful. I am just amazed that the West which gave us all the theories and all the science experiments and proofs of life still majorly believe that the Earth is only 10000 years or so old. Its true that religion makes you blind. Although its not against religion but against the idea that things just came be on earth and did not evolve. It sure is a excellent addi...

Great book. It takes you into a new world of evolution. It's 100times more interesting than reading about evolution on the internet. The cool pictures in the books will blow your mind. Looking forward to buy God Delusion.

And Flipkart, it rocks. Quick delivery and brilliant packing. And thanks for the bookmark. :)

If you love evolution, you will surely love this. And how could you not love it? It is written by Sir Richard Dawkins. Explains everything about evolution of all types. I loved the way he reviewed Darwin's and Lamarck
s theories. Looking forward to buy God Delusion.

Flipkart service was great as usual!

The Greatest Show on Earth is an excellent work.Richard Dawkins is a fine writer with consummate skill in presenting facts and disarming his critics with well reasoned arguments.His conclusions are convincing and his style of presenting the case is marvellous.

This book explains, relying upon thorough and exhaustive evidences and secondary data, that the theory of Darwin about the processes of evolution of life over millions of years is an eternal truth and is the very foundation of science as well as scientific attitude.
It reflects the strong bias in favour of superstition and blind faith propelled by the institutions of various religions concerning supernatural factors and 'God created or facilitated everything for formation of Life " type in ...

Even if you are not a biology student he will make you understand every bit of it. After finishing the book, I m sure y will realise that Surely God is not that great as he claims to be... love you Mr Deakins

the alternative probability going down. not just a superficial book skimming the surface but really explaining the things in as much detail as could be easily understood and even more if you try and want to.

Always been an admirer of Richard Dawkins. A great thinker who never fails to impress.
