Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton's unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don't lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. \u003cbr\u003eWith the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. Unweaving the Rainbow is a brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn't), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting. | \u003cp\u003e\"A spellbinding storyteller.\" The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Brilliance and wit.\" The New Yorker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An extended rebuttal - not so much by argument as by radiant example - of perennial anti-science convictions.
