...forgoes a subtitle. The five-week New York Times best seller (now at No. 8) attacks faith philosophically and historically as well as scientifically, but leans heavily on Darwinian theory, which was Dawkins' expertise as a young scientist and more recently as an explicator of evolutionary psychology so lucid that he occupies the Charles Simonyi professorship for the public understanding of science at Oxford University...
...College’s only universally required class, Expository Writing, promises to teach you to craft lucid, beautiful prose, to state your ideas with complexity and nuance, and to call your teacher a “preceptor.” It will succeed in at least one of these.

Laments Iñigo, Alatriste's young sidekick, who tells the story: "It seemed that to be lucid and Spanish would forever be coupled with great bitterness and little hope." The new film is an ambitious attempt to capture Pérez-Reverte's mix of action, historical accuracy and literary ambition. Though the author has adapted several of his 14 other novels for the screen, this time he stayed...
