*The Times*
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.

at Barnard College of Columbia University*
With wit, logic, and his characteristic flair for expressing
complex ideas with uncanny clarity, Richard Dawkins separates myth
from reality in OUTGROWING GOD. His book is more than a beginners’
guide to atheism: it is a primer that liberates us to see and
explore the beauty of the Universe free of fables and
fantasies.
*Neil Shubin, paleontologist and author of Your Inner Fish*
The author of The God Delusion, the man at the forefront of the New
Atheism movement, returns with passion to his theme.

renders the basics of natural selection newly astonishing.
