Over at RichardDawkins.net, you’ll find a wonderful half hour video of Richard Dawkins offering his personal “Seven Wonders of the World” (filmed 12 years ago). It’s a great look at some of the amazing things to be found in nature, such as the various uses of web by spiders, and the use of sonar by bats. And I agree 100% with his tip of the hat to David Attenborough, whom I consider a treasure (at least, as the figurehead for the complete production team who have created his documentaries over the years). He introduced me to the wonder of the natural world, as he is now introducing my children (Life in the Undergrowth would have to be my all-time favourite).
It would be refreshing to see more of Richard Dawkins in this mode, and probably more helpful to his cause as well.
