So many. One I remember very fondly is "The beak of the Finch". https://www.amazon.com/Beak-Finch-Story-Evolution-Time/dp/06...

If you have never read "The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time" [1], do yourself a favor and get a copy asap. Not only is it a realy good read on the work of the Grants and their team, it is one of the very best pop-science books I have ever read.
