Thanks Kennyc. I've always found evolution to be a fascinating subject. I was mesmerized by Richard Dawkins The Greatest Show on Earth and this looks equally interesting.

I just finished Longitude by Dava Sobel in one sitting. Part history and part biography it was certainly one of the most accessible science books I've ever read. Today our car or phone tells us where to go via GPS, but a few centuries ago navigating was a nightmare because there was no way of determining longitude at sea.

Many years ago, I picked up a used, unabridged copy of his Sociobiology: The New Synthesis in very good condition. This is a huge, beautiful book with many lavish illustrations and was a true joy to read. |

I've recently enjoyed reading The Joy of X: A Guided Tour of Mathematics, from One to Infinity, by Steven Strogatz.

No such sale price here in the Colonies, unfortunately. It's $9.45 at the U.S. Amazon's Kindle Store.

Yes, it's part of this month's "100 Kindle books for £2.99 or less" sale that Amazon UK run every month. I believe Amazon US do a similar thing, but the books are different.
