I would like to suggest the following 3 books:

The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being, by Alice Roberts (2014) - this book explains how we develop as an embryo, from a single egg into a complex body, and how our anatomy contains echoes of our evolutionary past.

Eating the Sun by Oliver Morton (2007) - this is a fascinating exploration of photosynthesis, covering the history of its discovery, its mechanisms, the evolution of life and its importance to the planet and our own existence.

The Planet in a Pebble by Jan Zalsiewicz (2010) - this is a well written and accessible introduction to the history of the Earth, from its origin as stardust to its possible futures.

I'd like to repeat a book that was suggested (but not chosen) for October:
How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking

It was chosen back in August. The Topic for it was however not created (before later), so I messed up somewhat.

Ah, I didn't realize. Thanks for the clarification.

I am going to suggest by Carl Zimmer.

Although I don't remember if it was chosen before...

It hasn't been, and it's not something to worry about usually. Repeats are allowed, but I at least prefer some time to have passed.

Poll is up.

All suggestions, including How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking are in the poll. It runs till Sunday this week.
