In this hugely enjoyable sequel to the New York Times best-selling memoir An Hunger for Think about, Richard Dawkins delves deeply into his intellectual life put in kick-starting new discussions about science, culture, and religion and writing another of the very most audacious and greatly read catalogs of the 20th hundred years - The God Delusion. Called "one of the best nonfiction freelance writers alive today" (Stephen Pinker) and a "prize-fighter" (Dynamics), Richard Dawkins cheerfully, mischievously, looks back on a lifetime of tireless intellectual trip and engagement. Discovering the halls of intellectual inquiry and stardom he encountered following the publication of his seminal work, The Selfish Gene; affectionately lampooning the world of academia, posting, and tv; and studding the pages with funny reviews about the fantastic men and women he's known, Dawkins offers a candid look at the events and ideas that urged him to shift his attention to the intersection of culture, religion, and science. He also invites the reader to look more carefully at the great succession of ten influential catalogs that grew normally out of his occupied life, highlighting the ideas that connect them and excavating their origins. Around the publication of his tenth booklet, the smash strike, The God Delusion, a "resounding trumpet blast for real truth" (Matt Ridley), Richard Dawkins was catapulted from mere intellectual stardom into a group of celebrity thinkers dubbed, "The New Atheists" - including Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. Throughout A Brief Candle in the Deep, Dawkins shares around his infectious sense of think about at the natural world, his pleasure of the absurdities of human discussion, and his bracing knowing of life's brevity: which have made a deep imprint on our culture. The complete set of narrators includes: Mitch Albom, Roger McGuinn, Ingrid Michaelson, John Pizzarelli, Paul Stanley, George Guidall, Mike Hodge, Robin Miles, Religious Baskous, Tony Chiroldes, Kevin O'Neil, and Adriana Sananes, Ken Brown, and Sarab Kamoo.
