HTML:<b>Essays on morality, mortality, and much more from the <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling author of <i>The Selfish Gene</i> and <i>The God Delusion</i>.</b><br /> This early collection of essays from renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is an enthusiastic declaration, a testament to the power of rigorous scientific examination to reveal the wonders of the world.<br /> <br /> In these essays, Dawkins revisits the meme, the unit of cultural information that he named and wrote about in his groundbreaking work, <i>The Selfish Gene</i>. Here also are moving tributes to friends and colleagues, including a eulogy for novelist Douglas Adams, author of <i>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</i>; correspondence with fellow biologist Stephen Jay Gould; commentary on the events of 9/11; and visits with the famed paleoanthropologists Richard and Meave Leakey at their African wildlife preserve.<br /> <br /> Ending with a vivid note to Dawkins's ten-year-old daughter, reminding her to remain curious, ask questions, and live the examined life, <i>A Devil's Chaplain</i> is a fascinating read by "a man of firm opinions, which he expresses with clarity and punch" (<i>Scientific American</i>).
