Richard Dawkins iPad Book

[McQ]

I bought a new iPad book today. It's a totally e-version of his book, The Magic of Reality. At least I think that's the title. I'm really enjoying it, too. Even though I know the book is written for a younger audience and/or those not familiar with science, I still really dig how he explains topics and how interactive it is.

There seems to be just the right amount of gimmicky iPad stuff, and it's presented in a straightforward way. Great art, drawings, illustrations in this on every page.

I hope it does well with sales.

Maybe Happy Forever should read it?

That would require one to remove the blinders and listen to reason and REAL science. I wouldn't hold your breath lol.

Hmm, interesting. Can you tell me to what agegroup it is aimed?

That is a difficult question to answer and I'm afraid my answer may not help much.

It depends on the person. Anyone schooled well in sciences may find it fun to use, but also find the information redundant. But if I had to guess, I'd say it's good for any decently educated person from age nine and up, with a focus on nine to 18. It's just that the presentation can seem childish at times, especially when Dawkin's voice is heard. He sounds a bit like he's talking to children.

He can't help it, he always sounds like that
