The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
Richard Dawkins
Free Press, 2009
Excellent guide for the evolutionary hobbyist!
I am exactly the kind of person for whom this book was written. I am an agnostic who believes that life on earth arrived in the many configurations we see today through evolutionary processes, but I had only a smattering of knowledge about the evidence.
