Title: The Blind Watchmaker
Author: Richard Dawkins
Genre: Non-Fiction
This interesting read provides an insight into the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. I can say that after reading this book, I know that prior to reading it I had a much shallower understanding of Darwin's work, even if I don't wholly agree with the author about everything he said. I found it very helpful that the author used replicable computer programs to make his points, because it allowed me to understand what was said better after I had replicated portions of them on my own computer. The book is well written, and fairly easy to read. Also, throughout the book, the author never loses sight of the topic at hand and always brings the most recent point being made back to the same ideas and principles that the book is founded on. I deem it highly recommended.
