I have enjoyed Richard Dawkins over the years. His lay books, various videos and podcasts are quite accessible, at least to me, and the few scientific papers I have read are excellent, although some of what is in them is beyond my current understanding. He has a singular wit, in the British style, that I usually find quite clever.
In more recent years, he has ventured into subjects other than biology, with some success (at least better than some others' similar undertakings). In these other areas, I don't consider him an expert or scholar, but more of an explorer.
He puts his foot in his mouth on occasion, but this occurs rarely.
I believe access to Dawkin's material has improved me overall, as I suspect it does for most others who take the time to absorb his work.
