Timeless Reality by Stenger is a nice wide-ranging, lay-level physics book. Part of it presents a non-orthodox view of time, but a lot of it covers the development of modern physics nicely. Maybe not the thing here, but I wanted to throw out something non-biology [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Selfish gene is actually about the best book on earth (or was when I read it).
