Into the Jungle
For my Vertebrates class I just finished Into the Jungle: Great Adventures in the Search for Evolution by Sean B. Carroll. This is a collection of nonfiction essays and stories about various naturalists and their adventures. The books features Darwin, Wallace, and Andrews among other famous naturalists as they travel the globe. The later stories focus on select organisms crucial to understanding the methods of evolution as well as vertebrate anomalies. This is a really interesting collection. The naturalists all had such fascinating lives. This book made me want to travel to some remote area of the globe and classify species or locate ancient fossils.

Sounds like a good book! That's cool that they had you read something other than a textbook for a science class.
