Description
Magic takes many forms. The ancient Egyptians explained the night by suggesting that the goddess Nut swallowed the sun. The Vikings believed a rainbow was the gods' bridge to earth. These are magical, extraordinary tales. But there is another kind of magic, and it lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality - science. Packed with inspiring explanations of space, time and evolution, laced with humour and clever thought experiments, The Magic of Reality explores a stunningly wide range of natural phenomena. What is stuff made of? How old is the universe? What causes tsunamis? Who was the first man, or woman? This is a page-turning, inspirational detective story that not only mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think like a scientist too. Richard Dawkins elucidates the wonders of the natural world to all ages with his inimitable clarity and exuberance in a text that will enlighten and inform for generations to come.

this book is outstanding .its a distillation of all of his work since the 'selfish gene'. he understands that once the mind is set its hard to save adults from this delusion named 'religion'.
this book is a wonderful read for anyone within the age of 11 and 18.he dials down his vocabulary and everthing and the illustrations keep the interest alive. not that they are needed for keeping the interest alive it just makes the experience more enjoyable as a child goes through the war between 'what...

Good for Ages 10-14, excellent for those above 14
Richard Dawkins as always puts out information and philosophy in an extremely understandable way. The questions asked within the book are not only relevant to children but to adults as well.Specially those who lack a rationalist view of things and would like to have explanations that go beyond typical myths and religious dogmas.
The book is for all ages, you dont need to be a child to ask how airplanes fly, how life/humans came to be and other simple yet profoundly deep ethical questions on n...

Refreshing and informative But "ILLUSTRATIONS MISSING"
The book is very informative, as said in other reviews, content is more intended for children in the age group of 11-16. But other people can also find it interesting to see how myths of different old civilizations were linked to one another as well as to natural scientific occurrence.
The explanations are lucid and helps young readers to grasp the contents easily. But illustrations are absent. If you are gifting it for younger readers please get an illustrated version. This book has no sup...

Rich Dawkins
A very good book on the subject.. it is for the people who would read it with out a bias in favour or against some ideologies, religion etc. It presents you with the facts and easy to understand concepts which have otherwise been highly intellectualised by the pseudo scientists and religious bigets. Though meant for the teenagers as such but i feel everyone who is willing to know the truth should go for it .
It comes with a affordable price. Thanks MR DAWKINS.

Illustrations NOT MISSING!!
Guys..Purchase the book published by Doubleday Childrens. Even the paper back version from that publisher has Illustration and is printed in colour. Yet to read the entire book but I am pretty sure it's amazing.
