The chapter on 'Unweaving the Uncanny' is worth the price of the book on its own. It is comparable to bookies at a racecourse accepting bets on any of the horses, except the favourites. But even Dawkins nods sometimes. He cannot resist the opportunity to bang the drum for his genuinely original and exciting ideas about selfish genes and co-operation, which for all their beauty do now seem very familiar from his earlier books. This is important, because there is more to the book than the idea that science is built on a sense of wonder and an appreciation of beauty.
Science is also of profound practical importance in modern society.
