Good books on evolution that don't discuss theology?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a good book on evolution to read. I'd like it to be recent so that it has more up to date information. I've heard Richard Dawkin's books are very good, but I'd rather not read book where half the text is wasted on describing why creationism is wrong. I am not religious so I don't need to be convinced. I just want to learn from a book.
I also think that getting preachy and debating is not appropriate for science texts. Science should be solely focused on discovery and evidence. I understand there are issues with our education system regarding evolution that need to be improved, for science education in general too, but I don't think books should let that sully their content with combative, and sometimes hostile, writing.
Anyway, what I mean is I am looking for a book on evolution that is pro-science, not anti-religion. Can anyone recomend some books like this?
