Download or read book Unweaving the Rainbow written by Richard Dawkins and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-04-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling author of Science in the Soul. “If any recent writing about science is poetic, it is this” (The Wall Street Journal). Did Sir Isaac Newton “unweave the rainbow” by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as John Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton’s unweaving is the key too much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don’t lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. With the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. This is the book Dawkins was meant to write: A brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn’t), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting. “A love letter to science, an attempt to counter the perception that science is cold and devoid of aesthetic sensibility . . . Rich with metaphor, passionate arguments, wry humor, colorful examples, and unexpected connections, Dawkins’ prose can be mesmerizing.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Brilliance and wit.” —The New Yorker

My poems speak for the unheard, queries into, suggest alternatives, and exist with their own creative individuality and magnetism. In my view poetry like painted art, sculpting, expressive music and the expression of art seem to exist as a form of liaison or a type of messenger of spiritual correspondence between those inner felt undercurrent of existence and its external manifestations.xplore and attempt to redefine conventionally held concepts and beliefs in light of the species improved and expanded awareness. They also aspire to influence the subconscious mind and conscious reasoning processes to examine alternative methods of reasoning by utilizing and combining: visualization, word association with foreign rhythms and ideas from official and unofficial point of views. The poems comprising this collection make a brazen and sincere attempt to manifest these very characteristics. Through each poem I make a sincere and deliberate attempt to urge each reader to question the very nature of your existence and particularly those ideas and beliefs about reality in general and human existence which you have come to know and accept as the absolute or gospel truth. In this new-age period of heightened awareness I implore you to question and pay attention to the nature of your gut feelings your haunches and your most basic inspirations. Embark upon a personal adventure through the inner space of life with the same tenacity and enthusiasm with which we explore the outer space of physical reality. As we continue to evolve spiritually each of us should make a sincere attempt to sense the very uniqueness of our god-like being, self-worth and our natural alignment with the source of all which exists, universal intelligence or God. Additionally, we must allow our ambitions and expressions its natural freedom as they attempt to assist us in our search for meaning.
