Mmhhh, yes, I might have been influenced by the Dawkinsian Party, but
I also read something of his, and I did not find him very
illuminating, not even in a negative sense, even though his very good
knowledge of his subjects is obvious and some objections to the "new
synthesis" are interesting.

This is why I was wondering whether you recommend the book at hand...
