Richard Dawkins in conversation with Hugh Linehan
In the second part of his memoirs, Brief Candle in the Dark: My Life in Science, Richard Dawkins looks back on a lifetime of tireless intellectual adventure and engagement. Exploring the halls of intellectual inquiry and stardom he encountered after the publication of The Selfish Gene, Dawkins also looks at the events and ideas that encouraged him to shift his attention to the intersection of culture, religion, and science, captured memorably in one of the most audacious books of the twentieth century - The God Delusion. Here is a rare opportunity to hear the man Stephen Pinker called ‘one of the best nonfiction writers alive today’.
