TrevorC Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hello everyone, i am really interested in biology and i would be happy if you could recommend any good books for me to read. I want to say that i am still a highschool student so as you can imagine my knowledge on the topic is very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharonY Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Actually, he is a biochemist and the book has little biology. Depends on how advanced you are, you may want to take a look at Campbell, Biology. If you are more interested in essays than biology, I can recommend most of Stephen Jay Gould's books (not cutting edge anymore, but very well written), Dawkin's Ancestor's Tale, maybe.
