About the book

Richard Dawkins's Unweaving the Rainbow argues that scientific understanding enhances rather than destroys a sense of wonder. Using examples from light, genetics, evolution and perception, Dawkins challenges the idea that explaining nature somehow removes its beauty. The book combines science with reflections on poetry, imagination and the intellectual pleasure of understanding the natural world.
