Nel 1859 L'origine delle specie di Charles Darwin scosse il mondo dalle fondamenta. Darwin sapeva benissimo che la sua teoria dell'evoluzione avrebbe provocato un terremoto, ma non avrebbe mai potuto immaginare che, un secolo e mezzo dopo, la controversia avrebbe continuato a infuriare.

Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, shook society to its core on publication in 1859. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke but he would surely have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. In The Greatest Show on Earth Richard Dawkins takes on creationists, including followers of 'Intelligent Design' and all those who question the fact of evolution through natural selection. Like a detective arriving on the scene of a crime, he sifts through fascinating layers of scientific facts and disciplines to build a cast-iron case: from the living examples of natural selection in birds and insects; the 'time clocks' of trees and radioactive dating that calibrate a timescale for evolution; the fossil record and the traces of our earliest ancestors; to confirmation from molecular biology and genetics. All of this, and much more, bears witness to the truth of evolution. The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is now flourishing as never before, especially in America. In Britain and elsewhere in the world, teachers witness insidious attempts to undermine the status of science in their classrooms. Richard Dawkins provides unequivocal evidence that boldly and comprehensively rebuts such nonsense. At the same time he shares with us his palpable love of the natural world and the essential role that science plays in its interpretation. Written with elegance, wit and passion, it is hard-hitting, absorbing and totally convincing.

Richard Dawkins transformed our view of God in his blockbuster, The God Delusion, which sold more than 2 million copies in English alone. He revolutionized the way we see natural selection in the seminal bestseller The Selfish Gene. Now, he launches a fierce counterattack against proponents of "Intelligent Design" in his latest New York Times bestseller, The Greatest Show on Earth. "Intelligent Design" is being taught in our schools; educators are being asked to "teach the controversy" behind evolutionary theory. There is no controversy. Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence—from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics—to make the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection." His unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument, exposing the absurdities of the creationist position, into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master’s vision of life, in all its splendor.

Nell'Inghilterra di metà Ottocento la febbre del circo travolge la nazione. All'arrivo del magico tendone per qualche ora la vita cambia, si beve e si danza, e il mondo pare un posto piú colorato. Ma all'alba tutto sparisce e si torna alla grigia consuetudine. Questa volta, però, la carovana dell'impresario Jasper Jupiter riparte dal villaggio portandosi via qualcosa di molto prezioso: la giovane Nell, nata con la pelle coperta di macchie di leopardo. Per lei comincia una nuova vita, di sfruttamento ma anche di celebrità. Un romanzo ambientato in un mondo scomparso eppure straordinariamente contemporaneo, che invita a chiedersi chi siano i veri mostri di cui avere paura. «Il Circo delle Meraviglie racconta in maniera splendida e coinvolgente la danza complessa tra sfruttamento e responsabilizzazione, interrogandosi su cosa significhi avere davvero il controllo della propria vita». Naomi Ishiguro Nell'Inghilterra di metà Ottocento la febbre del circo travolge la nazione. Fiumane di gente accorrono nelle piazze per ammirare i domatori di leoni, le acrobazie dei trapezisti e, soprattutto, le cosiddette «meraviglie umane»: nani, giganti, donne barbute e uomini farfalla. Quando in un povero villaggio costiero del sud compare il tendone del Circo delle Meraviglie di Jasper Jupiter, la vita della giovane Nell cambia per sempre. Nelle voglie che le costellano il corpo rendendola diversa dagli altri, e dunque emarginata dalla comunità, l'esperto impresario vede la promessa di lauti guadagni. Perciò, strappata la ragazza all'affetto del fratello e all'anonimato di una vita da raccoglitrice di violette, la porta in tournée per tutto il Paese. L'ambizione di Jasper Jupiter non conosce limite. Come un novello dot- tor Frankenstein o un moderno Dedalo, è deciso a costruirsi con le proprie mani la chiave per la notorietà: per questo si circonda di una collezione di inediti «mostri», meraviglie per gli occhi e per il cuore, in quanto portatori di storie avventurose e commoventi. Comincia cosí la scalata al successo della protagonista che, da povera e reietta ragazza di provincia, nel giro di pochissimo tempo diventa la grande Nellie Moon, stella indiscussa dello spettacolo. A Londra viene descritta come l'ottava meraviglia del mondo, tutti desiderano una statuetta a sua immagine e somiglianza e persino la Regina Vittoria vuole vederla esibirsi. Purtroppo fama non è sinonimo di libertà, e quando il successo di Nell minaccia di oscurare quello del suo impresario, la storia cambia: nessuno può mettersi tra Jasper Jupiter e i suoi sogni di gloria.
