People on this list are familiar with books on the science-faith and creation-evolution relationship, but I don't remember ever seeing a discussion of current introductory textbooks about the science itself. I've been out of the academic/teaching environment for over 10 years now, so I don't know which texts are still considered best.

Feel free to recommend both high-level (e.g., biology majors) and intro-level (non-majors) texts. I'm interested in the whole range, but I'm particularly interested in books that I could recommend to non-biologists like Pete or a homeschooling parent (or self-motivated high schooler) who honestly wants to learn the "straight science", etc.
