Unweaving the Rainbow（ISBN=9780618056736） epub 下载 pdf 网盘 2025 mobi 在线 免费

　　Did 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. With

the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a

best-selling 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. This is the book

Richard Dawkins was meant to write: a brilliant assessment of what

science is (and isn't), a tribute to science not because it is

useful but because it is uplifting.
