MEDIA REVIEWS
Outgrowing God is another sally against his oldest foe,the AlmightyBooks of 2019: The scientist and controversial commentator on religious and cultural questions presents an accessible,"junior" version of The God Delusion (2006).His contagious enthusiasm renders the basics of natural selection newly astonishing.Books of 2019: Richard Dawkins has always had it in for the almighty and he's back to take another pop at the poor bloke. Here he outlines what he believes is the real meaning of life.Dawkins new book is special in the terrain of atheists'pleas for humanism and rationalism precisely since it speaks to those most vulnerable to the coercive tactics of religion. As Dawkins himself says in the dedication,this book is for "all young people when they're old enough to decide for themselves."It is also,I must add,for their parents.
