| Here are a few of the books that
I think people should be exposed to at a undergraduate level.
Most of these are intended for people majoring in the biological
sciences... I'll try to keep them grouped by subject/ area of interest |

| On the Origin of Species |
Darwin, Charles |
*The* biology book. Must
read for yourself. Really Good. Read the 1st edition
(reprinted in the Harvard University Press Edition). Later
editions not as good. |
| The Selfish Gene |
Dawkins, Richard |
A classic in biology, and an
excellent introduction to many of the theories you'll hear about over
and over in your biology classes. I do NOT like Richard Dawkins
himself (due to his frequent attacks on religion), but his book is
worth reading. |
