Description:
In The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins presents a compelling and accessible argument for the power of Darwinian natural selection in shaping the complexity of life. First published in 1986 and hailed as a modern classic, this work eloquently dismantles the argument for intelligent design and champions the explanatory power of evolutionary biology.

This 2008 Folio Society edition is handsomely produced with illustrated cloth boards, colour plates, and fine typography. The included illustrations by Liz Pyle complement Dawkins’ engaging prose, making this an ideal volume for both science readers and collectors.
