Description
This Czech-language book by biologist Richard Dawkins explores why poets and other artists so often speak disdainfully of science, why scientific literature can seem duller than a telephone directory, and whether Newton’s famous experiment with a glass prism and the refraction of light stripped the rainbow of its poetic charm. Dawkins considers questions about the meaning, beauty and mysteries of our world and human nature, bringing readers through the realms of natural science and culture with the conviction that the best science should leave room for poetry, and that mysteries do not lose their magic when we solve them, but often reveal solutions more beautiful than the mysteries themselves.
