I have reviewed numerous books on evolution over the years, but my favorite has to be Darwin and the Barnacle: The Story of One Tiny Creature and History's Most Spectacular Scientific Breakthrough by Rebecca Stott.

My review, linked directly above, ends with high praise:

This book, rich in story and deft writing, will appeal equally to readers of history, science, or biography, rewarding those who pick it up with both insight and pleasure.
