The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the field to his own provocative views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer'sCanterbury Tales, Dawkins's Tale takes us modern humans back through four billion years of life on our planet.
