Brief Candle in the Dark: My Life in Science
Richard Dawkins
In An Appetite for Wonder Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of his first 35 years. He invites us to share the life of a travelling scientist, from fieldwork on the Panama Canal to conferences in the company of some of the most prominent - and most eccentric - of the world's scientific luminaries.
