{"product_id":"9780618056736","title":"Unweaving The Rainbow","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eBiologist, humanist, and bestselling author Richard Dawkins deeply examines the inherent beauty within modern scientific discoveries. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“If any recent writing about science is poetic, it is this” (\u003cem\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003eDid Newton \"unweave the rainbow\" by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton's unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don't lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. \u003cbr\u003eWith the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. Unweaving the Rainbow is a brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn't), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting.","brand":"Richard Dawkins","offers":[{"title":"HarperCollins |  Paperback \/ softback  |  2000-04-05","offer_id":44151985537279,"sku":"9780618056736","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_f073a9e9-3596-4d92-b44d-25de1df586d6.jpg?v=1653443460","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780618056736","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
