The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins
The Greatest Show on Earth, The Selfish Gene, The Sixth Extinction, and now The Origin of Species have/are shaping the way I interpret my surroundings and how they evolve over type.
For younger readers, or those who prefer a lighter reader, Dawkins "The Greatest Show On Earth" covers similar material in a more accessible (if less rigorous) manner.
