I'm reading E.O. Wilson's "Letters to a young scientist" right now.

He's a thoughtful man who really knows his stuff when it comes to biology.

If he suggests anything at all, the world should listen.

We owe him a greater debt than most people will ever realize.

He's also a (literally) down-to-earth author who knows how to hold the reader's attention ... a fairly rare distinction. He won Pulitzer Prizes for General Nonfiction (for On Human Nature in 1979, and The Ants in 1991).
