Dawkins targets teens with new book
After squashing Darwin deniers and God-botherers with bestselling tomes including The God Delusion and The Greatest Show on Earth, Richard Dawkins is set to tackle what might be his hardest audience yet: teenagers.
The well-known scientist and atheist has struck a book deal for his first title for young adults, which will look to explode myths and legends about the natural world with science. Due out in autumn 2011, What is a Rainbow, Really? will take on topics including who the first man and first woman were, why there are seasons, what the sun is, how old the world is and why there are so many animals, first answering the questions with myth and legend, and then with “lucid scientific explanations”.
I am currently reading The Greatest Hoax of Earth, by Dr Jonathan Sarfati. In the book he refutes Richard’s book The Greatest Show on Earth point for point. No doubt Sarfati will also produce something that also refutes Richard’s teenage books.
