Recipes for Science by Angela Potochnik et al. is a good one. Alternately you could mix and match bits from Elliott Sober Philosophy of Biology and Griffiths and Sterelny Sex and Death. These two both much older than Potochnik.

Reading a history of the philosophy of biology, and the book notes that while German biologists got on board with evolution quickly, which helped! Ernst Haeckel needlessly used it to start shit with the theologians of his country, which absolutely did not help!

This elegant bio sketch of Jim Watson by @matthewcobb.bsky.social is balanced, nuanced, and graciously acknowledges my work on Watson. Even more graciously, it doesn't spill the beans on the many ways my book challenges the history of the gene. Coming next fall from Basic Books!
