DESCRIPTION:RICHARD DAWKINS\n"Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate 
 Rationalist"\nHosted by Philip Maldari\n\nAdmit 1 + book= $35, admit 
 2+book=$45: brownpapertickets.com :: T: 800-838-3006  or independent 
 bookstores, info: kpfa.org/events   \n\nIn a world grown irrational and 
 hostile to facts, Science in the Soul is an essential collection by an 
 indispensable author.\n\nRichard Dawkins is an English ethologist, 
 evolutionary biologist and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, 
 Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public 
 Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008. Dawkins first came to 
 prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the 
 gene-centred view of evolution. In 2006, he founded the Richard Dawkins 
 Foundation for Reason and Science.  Dawkins is an atheist, well known for 
 his criticism of creationism and intelligent design.\n\nHis latest book is 
 Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate Rationalist. In it 
 the legendary biologist, provocateur, and bestselling author mounts a 
 timely and passionate defense of science and clear thinking. Though it 
 spans three decades, this book couldn't be more timely. Dawkins calls on us 
 to insist that reason take center stage and that gut feelings, even when 
 they don't represent the stirred dark waters of xenophobia, misogyny, or 
 other blind prejudice, should stay out of the voting booth. Dawkins has 
 equal ardor for "the sacred truth of nature" and renders here with typical 
 virtuosity the glories and complexities of the natural world. \n\n"In this 
 golden age of enlightened science writing, it is stunning that no scientist 
 has won the Nobel Prize for Literature... No living scientist is more 
 deserving of such recognition than Richard Dawkins. . . . -Michael Shermer, 
 publisher of Skeptic magazine, columnist for Scientific American\n\nPhilip 
 Maldari, veteran KPFA broadcaster, hosts the two-hour Sunday Morning Show 
 every\nweek.\n\n$35 (1 admit + book at door), $45 (2 admits + book at 
 door).\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/08/01/18801193.php
