Aremathiea Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hello, I am very new to these forums. I have been reading a few different books (in a few different areas of education) over the last few weeks and I was curious as to the opinion you people may have of them, and if anyone knows of counter points (books) to each respective book please let me know- as I like to have many sides to the same "story" to help form my own conclusion. The books are: Genome by Matt Ridley The God delusion by Richard Dawkins ...On the Origin of the Species... by Charles Darwin Death by Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries by Neil deGrasse Tyson The End of Faith, Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_bo_99 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Of the books you have listed I've only read "Genome", which I enjoyed quite a bit. Although not really a counterpoint to "Genome", a book that offers an intriguing view of genomic data is "The Triple Helix" by Lewontin. I almost hate to recommend it though, I thought it was fairly downbeat and pessimistic. Later, R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
