Brief Candle in the Dark, Paperback

The second and final part of Richard Dawkins's memoirs, following on from the critically acclaimed An Appetite For Wonder, which took readers up to the publication of The Selfish Gene in 1976. He paints a vivid picture, coloured with wit, anecdote and digression, of the 25 postgraduate years he spent teaching at Oxford, his life as a travelling scientist visiting exotic locations, and his experience with his many publishers, TV producers, interviewers and partners in debate, not least in the heady period after the publication of The God Delusion in 2006. Now in paperback.
