'We may unweave the rainbow, but we put together something far more beautiful' More and more frequently, science is accused of promoting an arid and joyless message, of robbing our lives of what makes them worth living. In UNWEAVING THE RAINBOW Richard Dawkins shows how science, properly understood, does not expose the pointlessness of our lives in a vast, meaningless universe, but instead enhances the poetry of experience by revealing the workings of the natural world in their full wonder.
