«The God Delusion» is Richard Dawkins's essay, published by Houghton Mifflin in paperback (464 pages, in English).
Richard Dawkins argues that belief in God is irrational and refutes the classic arguments of religion with irony. He analyzes everything from the vengeful God of the Old Testament to the Great Clockmaker of the Enlightenment, and examines wars, fanaticism and abuses attributed to faith, arguing that atheism offers a more lucid vision of the universe.
The book was a New York Times bestseller. The work originally appeared in 2006; this edition is from 2008.
For readers interested in philosophy of religion, atheism and the debate between science and belief.
Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. In 1995, he was named the first Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, a position he held until 2008, and is on the advisory board of the University of Austin. Dawkins has won several academic and writing awards, among them the 2005 Shakespeare Prize and the 2006 Lewis Thomas Prize. Presenting the latter, Paul Nurse said "In eloquent, evocative prose, Richard Dawkins conveys the certainty that, rather than diminishing the myriad beauties of the universe and extinguishing wonderment at its mysteries, science reveals truths that are yet more awe-inspiring than the mysteries they solve."
