An Inconvenient Truth
Al Gore and the makers of the documentary do a great job in presenting the global warming issue. Highly recommended as it is about a very important issue of our times.
The Third Chimpanzee
This is a good, though somewhat dated, book about the rise of Homo Sapiens. While eminently readable and full of interesting information, I found the focus on nuclear or environmental holocaust to be a hindrance.
The First Human
The First Human is a good and readable book about the search for the oldest hominin fossils. It describes the science, the fieldwork as well as the disputes in the field of paleoanthropology.
