| Short biography |
Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist, ethologist, public advocate of atheism, and outspoken critic of religion. His written works generally revolve around evolution and genetics (Selfish Gene; Extended Phenotype) and/or atheism/religious skepticism (The God Delusion; The Blind Watchmaker).
Dawkins has won numerous scholarly and literary prizes and awards, and has lectured at many institutions. He is currently married to actress and illustrator Lalla Ward, who is credited with illustrating many of his books, including The God Delusion.
While he did participate in the Huxley Memorial Debate in 1986, Dawkins gained a great deal of publicity for otherwise refusing to debate creationists, stating that creationists 'don't mind being beaten in an argument. What matters is that we give them recognition by bothering to argue with them in public.'
In his first book, The Selfish Gene, Dawkins coined the term 'meme' to identify ideas and practices which are transfered, adapted, and changed within a society.  | |

Author DisambiguationHow many authors?Richard Dawkins is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.
This entry includes…
Combine with…
What?
Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?
A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as"
lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily,
so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.
Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?
A: Yes you can.
Q: I know an author is separate, but mischievous gremlins keep combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list?
A: Yes you can.
Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.
Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?
A: No authors.
Q: I am the gremlin and I'm right!
A: Take it to the Combiners group.
