Very coincidental that I just checked out Dawkins book noted in this video clip, "The Magic of Reality" from the library. It's really great so far. Well-written with lots of illustrations, and would probably be really good for kids in a science class.

I checked it out as an antidote to the most-recent book I just finished reading, Christopher Hitchens last book "Mortality." That book was such a downer I had to find something to take my mind off of it. Hitchens went into painful detail about the cancer that was ravaging him and it really got to me.
