Greatest Show on Earth

During my summer school in the Netherlands I had quite a lot of time while driving on trains and waiting at the airport. Yes again my plane had been delayed. This time it was because one of the flight companies planes broke down and they didn't have any spare planes. It happens. And that was why I had several more hours to spent at the Amsterdam airport. Since I have finished other books that I had on me, I went to a bookstore to find some other book. I spent quite some time there, but I just couldn't find any interesting fiction or science fin books. The next obvious choice was some science reading. And I have to say I was glad to find this book. It's a book from Richard Dawkins (wiki) a very well known evolutionary biologist.

I didn't really learn that much new things from it but the books gives you a great overview of the evolution theory and the different perspectives that people have about this topic. I was just jumping from one page to another and finished it few days after my return home. If you are new to evolution theory and want to learn about it from the best man in the field, this is surely a book for you. I would even recommend it to someone who just wants to refresh his/hers knowledge on the topic and see it from another angle. It's a really great book.
