Sean B. Carroll -- The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution
Sean B. Carroll -- Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo
Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb -- Evolution in Four Dimensions: Genetic, Epigenetic, Behavioral, and Symbolic Variation in the History of Life
Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb -- Evolution in Four Dimensions: Genetic, Epigenetic, Behavioral, and Symbolic Variation in the History of Life
Marc Kirschner and John Gerhart -- The Plausibility of Life: Resolving Darwin's Dilemma
In addition, there are the following outstanding books by Nick Lane which she led me to some time ago:
Oxygen: The Molecule That Made The World
Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life
Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution
Any one of these, I think, would be a revelation to those who are unaware of the astonishing work now being done in Biology.

On a more philosophical note, do you have any favorite books defending naturalism against something like Kantian, or Neo-Kantian Idealism? I.e., the idea that these sciences really are telling us something about the real world.
