1.		The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This is a fascinating book that I really enjoyed. The book challenges the Politically Correct idea that was unfortunately forced on the children who grew up in the 90's - that Men and Women are exactly the same, and anyone who says otherwise is sexist. The book states the obvious: men and women have... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Agile Gene: How Nature Turns on Nurture from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Thank the "Gene Organizing Device" ("GOD" by the author) that this is not a book on an endless philosophical debate.

5.		Francis Crick: Discoverer of the Genetic Code (Eminent Lives) (rough edge) from Eminent Lives Price: $13.57 Customer Review: This is a very interesting and highly readable book, but a little gushing especially towards the end.
