Richard Dawkins – The Blind Watchmaker (The Folio Society, 2007) Illustrated Edition – With Slipcase A striking Folio Society edition of Richard Dawkins’s The Blind Watchmaker, one of the most influential works on evolutionary biology ever written. Originally published in 1986, this groundbreaking book dismantles the argument for divine design in nature, demonstrating instead how complexity and beauty emerge from natural selection — the “blind watchmaker” of life. Written with the clarity and elegance that made Dawkins a leading voice in science writing, this edition presents his definitive argument for evolution, enhanced by vivid colour illustrations and a new introduction reflecting on the enduring power of Darwin’s ideas. Content In The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins explores the astonishing ingenuity of evolution through examples ranging from the human eye to the echolocation of bats. With precision and insight, he shows how life’s intricate forms arise without the need for an intelligent designer. The result is a persuasive, eloquent, and enduring classic that reshaped public understanding of science and faith alike.
