… and are looking for a natural selection of books, we recommend you try reading these:
Richard Fortey: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum Dry Store Room No. 1
Why not let palaeontologist Richard Fortey take you on a guided tour of one of the world’s greatest natural history museums, encountering all the diversity and beauty fo the nature as explained by evolution? And there’s plenty of insights into eccentric behind-the-scenes goings on too… a true delight!
Jerry A. Coyne: Why Evolution Is True
Or if you’re looking for a beginner’s guide to evolution, then Jerry A. Coyne’s book is the place to start. It opens with a chapter explaining what evolution is, then takes you through the evidence of fossils, sexual selection and so on, chapter by chapter. Empirically good!
