Richard Dawkins, Brian Eno and the art of evolution

24.08.09, TIMES ON LINE (UK). Richard Dawkins's new book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, is out on September 10, and The Times is serialising it this week. The first extract appeared today, and you can also read a fantastic interview with Professor Dawkins by Stefanie Marsh that ran in the Saturday Review at the weekend, and a shorter piece I wrote about his latest ambition -- to have a bestseller in the Islamic world. The Times leader on Saturday is also worth a look. Speaking to Dawkins about the book on Friday, he drew my attention to a unique event at the Oxford Playhouse on September 4, which should be of great interest to Science Central readers. It features Dawkins in conversation with Brian Eno, the musician and artist once of Roxy Music, who is another perceptive thinker about evolution and science in general.
