Pretty old but I read them for the first time in 2019: Microcosmos by Lynn Margulis and Full House by Stephen Jay Gould. Both of them really blew me away and changed my worldview.

I also started on The Vital Question by Nick Lane but haven't finished it yet. But I would recommend anyways based on what I've read so far.

Microcosmos is also an amazing nature film where a crew follows around insects in a pasture for a while, free of narration. One of the most remarkable films I've ever seen.
