There aren't many scientists famous enough in their lifetime to be canonized by the US Congress as one of America's 'living legends'.

Through Dawkins’s honest self-reflection, touching reminiscences and witty anecdotes, we are finally able to understand the private influences that shaped the public man who, more than anyone else in his generation, explained our own origins
