Reviews

Michael Shermer, editor-in-chief of Skeptic, wrote that "No living scientist is more deserving of such recognition than Richard Dawkins, whose every book reflects his literary genius and scientific substance. Science in the Soul is the perfect embodiment of Nobel-quality literature."[1]

James Randi, author of The Faith Healers, wrote that "Science in the Soul is packed with Dr Dawkins’s philosophy, humor, anger, and quiet wisdom, leading the reader gently but firmly to inevitable conclusions that edify and educate, while dropping in periodic bons mots that seize attention rather firmly."[1]

gollark: <@332271551481118732> Your thoughts? The existing UI allows you to have multiple notes open, but it's quite buggy wrt. scrolling when you open new ones, is somewhat harder to implement than just having one page open at once, and arguably takes attention away from your notes' contents.
gollark: I still don't actually have login working properly, so if you're not logged in it'll just get stuck on "Loading..." and you have to manually send a POST request to the login API endpoint.
gollark: This is the minoteaur UI as of now.
gollark: I found a cool notes application called Standard Notes, and while I probably won't use it for unrelated reasons, it has a neat UI.
