Man Who Found the Missing Link by Pat Shipman
Through lively prose and numerous maps and photos, this accessible work traces the life of Eugene Dubois, a scientist whose seminal 1891 discovery of fossilized remains--Pithecanthropus erectus, more commonly known as Homo erectus--provides compelling evidence for Darwin's theory of natural selection. Part defense of scientific innovation, part study of a stubbornly principled character, this biography claims that Dubois deserves a place of honor in science history.

The Portable Milton by Douglas Bush, John Milton
The Portable Milton is an authoritative grand tour through the imagination of this prodigal genius. In the course of his forty-year career, John Milton evolved from a prodigy to a blind prophet, from a philosophical aesthete to a Puritan rebel, and from a poet who proclaimed the triumph of reason to one obsessed with the intractability of sin. Throughout these transformations, he conceived his work as a form of prayer, written in the service of the supreme being.
