    Default The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution - Richard Dawkins

    "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution" is a 2009 book by British biologist Richard Dawkins. Dawkins wants to prove that Evolution is a fact and not only a theory. The book is divided into 13 chapters spanning over 400 pages and it is very entertaining (like all books from Dawkins).

    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...

    I guess it depends if you find the subject interesting. For me, so far, the book has been rather interesting. Though I haven't read his other books, I do plan on getting The Greatest Show On Earth
