Richard Dawkins collection: the genius of Charles Darwin, the enemies of reason and root of all evil?

The Genius Of Charles Darwin: Dawkins on Darwin celebrates the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and shows how evidence supporting the theory of evolution has been accumulated by scientists ever since Darwin's stunning discovery. In addition to explaining Darwin's ideas, Dawkins also shows how the intellectual journey undertaken by Darwin led inevitably to an atheistic world view. For, once nature could be explained by the theory of evolution, it simply wasn't necessary to continue with the idea that God was responsible for all Creation.

The Enemies Of Reason: Richard Dawkins looks at how health has become a battleground between reason and superstition. A third of us now spend a total of over 1.6 billion a year on superstitious alternative remedies, but 80% of them have never been subjected to properly conducted trials.

Root Of All Evil?: Nine months before the release of his million-copy bestseller The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins had the world buzzing with his television documentary Root of All Evil? The 2-hour program highlights the dangers of faith and religion in the 21st century, and asks people of reason to say "Enough is enough!"
