great catfish that carries the world on its back? Has anyone ever
told you that earthquakes are caused by a sneezing giant? These
fantastical myths are fun - but what is the real answer to such
questions? "The Magic of Reality", with its explanations
of space, time, evolution and more, will inspire and amaze readers

Teaming up with the renowned illustrator Dave McKean, Richard
Dawkins answers all these questions and many more. In stunning
words and pictures this book presents the real story of the world
around us, taking us on an enthralling journey through scientific
reality, and showing that it has an awe-inspiring beauty and
thrilling magic which far exceed those of the ancient myths.
We encounter rainbows, our genetic ancestors, tsunamis, shooting
stars, plants, animals, and an intriguing cast of characters in
this extraordinary scientific voyage of discovery. Richard Dawkins
and Dave McKean have created a dazzling celebration of our planet
that will entertain and inform for years to come.
