Climbing Mount Improbable

Synopsis

A brilliant book celebrating improbability as the engine that drives life, by the acclaimed author of the selfish gene and the blind watchmaker. The human eye is so complex and works so precisely that surely, one might believe, its current shape and function must be the product of design. How could such an intricate object have come about by chance? Tackling this subject―in writing that the new york times called "a masterpiece"―richard dawkins builds a carefully reasoned and lovingly illustrated argument for evolutionary adaptation as the mechanism for life on earth.
