Woody Allen, Richard Dawkins and other assorted references from class

[Subbarao Kambhampati <rao@asu.edu>]

Here is a link to the book Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins--a must read
to understand the modern understanding of the "purpose" of
evolution...

A more readable "Readers digest" version of the above as
well as many other very interesting facts about evolution and genetics
that I didn't know

Riddley's other books, Redqueen, and Origins of virtue--are also
eminently readable. 


Here is the exact quote from Woody Allen

The trick will be to avoid the pitfalls, seize the challenges, and get back home by six o'clock. 

--Woody Allen
