Biology

Recommended

Medawar, P. B., & Medawar, J. S. (1985). Aristotle to Zoos: A Philosophical Dictionary of Biology. Oxford University Press.

I haven't read another 'dictionary' quite like it.

Harold, F. M. (2001). The Way of the Cell: Molecules, Organisms, and the Order of Life. Oxford University Press.

Outstanding content and Harold is a master of prose. Much better than standard popular science books.

Milo, R., & Phillips, R. (2016). Cell biology by the numbers. Garland Science, Taylor & Francis Group. (Online free version)

A unique book, like Phillips's other ones.

An Owner's Guide to the Human Genome: an introduction to human population genetics, variation and disease by Jonathan Pritchard
