Over the years, evolutionary biologist, author and enthusiastic atheist Richard Dawkins has written many best-sellers such as "The God Delusion", "The Blind Watchmaker", and his landmark work The Selfish Gene". But through them all, Richard Dawkins felt that something was lacking, that his earlier books assumed the truth of evolution, but had never explicitly provided the evidence.

Now, his latest book aims to fill that 'missing link'. It's called "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution" and it picks up on a continuing theme in Richard Dawkins career - that evolution is an inarguable fact.

Richard Dawkins is currently touring Australia as a guest of Adelaide Writers' Festival. He will also be speaking over the next week at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre on the 4th of March, the Melbourne Town Hall on the 5th of March and the Sydney Opera House on the 7th of March.
