Di cosa sono fatte le cose. Cos'.È il sole. Perché ci sono la notte e il giorno, l'inverno e l'estate. Perché accadono cose brutte. Siamo soli. Nel corso della storia, persone in tutto il mondo hanno inventato storie per rispondere a domande profonde come queste. Hai mai sentito la storia di come il sole si .È schiuso da un uovo di emù. O che dire del grande pesce gatto che trasporta il mondo sulla schiena. Qualcuno ti ha mai detto che i terremoti sono causati da un gigante che starnutisce. Questi miti fantastici sono divertenti, ma qual .È la vera risposta a tali domande. The Magic of Reality, con le sue spiegazioni di spazio, tempo, evoluzione e altro, ispirerà e stupirà lettori di tutte le età: giovani adulti, adulti, bambini, ottuagenari. In collaborazione con il famoso illustratore Dave McKean, Richard Dawkins risponde a tutte queste domande e a molte altre. Con parole e immagini sorprendenti, questo libro presenta la vera storia del mondo che ci circonda, portandoci in un viaggio avvincente attraverso la realtà scientifica e dimostrando che ha una bellezza impressionante e una magia emozionante che superano di gran lunga quelle degli antichi miti. Incontriamo arcobaleni, i nostri antenati genetici, tsunami, stelle cadenti, piante, animali e un intrigante cast di personaggi in questo straordinario viaggio scientifico di scoperta. Richard Dawkins e Dave McK hanno creato una celebrazione abbagliante del nostro pianeta che intratterrà e informerà per gli anni a venire.
