The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk.This revised edition of Dawkins' fascinating book contains two new chapters.

  • Quality not great but text is fine

    This book is slightly coming apart but for £2.50 I don't really care as all the text is there. Its a different edition than what is pictured but all I need it for is as recommended reading for uni. The books lamination is coming off and the spine is bruised but all is okay.

  • Excellent Book on Evolution

    One of the most important popular science books ever written. Should be read by everyone. Offers an integrative view which level evolution works which has wide reaching implications

  • Very very good book

    Loving it. Only up to chapter 4, however. It’s only the second book I’ve ever read and it’s far better than the first one.

  • Great Title - shame about the condition of the book

    Dawkins book is a CLASSIC piece of science, but the condition of the paperback was terrible. Dog-eared with many annotations, some in ink.
