 Unweaving the Rainbow

"Unweaving the Rainbow" is a book written by the British biologist and author Richard Dawkins, published in 1998. The book explores the relationship between science and poetry, emphasizing how scientific explanations can enhance our appreciation of the natural world rather than diminish it. Dawkins argues against the notion that understanding the scientific basis of phenomena, such as rainbows, takes away from their beauty and wonder. Instead, he posits that a deeper understanding can actually enrich our experience of them.
