Re: Good books to read ?

Greetings,

I would greatly appreciate an advice, are there any particularly good
books on human biology and related topics, which are published by the
Springer Publishers and really deserve to be read?

Somehow I was invited to pick out complimentary books from the Springer
catalog for $300 (as a reward for my referee/reviewer services), and I
really need some guidance from the knowledgeable people here, which
books to choose!

Thank you for your advice!

I'm told that "Human Mitochondrial DNA and the Evolution of Homo Sapiens" (Bandeldt, Richards,
Macaulay, ISBN 978-3-540-31788-3) is good, but I haven't looked at it myself.

Looking at my own shelves, I don't see anything by Springer in terms of biological anthropology.
Maybe if you looked under biomedicine or life-sciences? Or for that matter, why not just pick out a
few cross-discipline books that interest you? (assuming that's allowed) It's always nice to get a
good look at what people are doing in neighbouring disciplines.
