Skip Darwin unless they like fiction. Try “The Edge of Evolution”.

The ‘Art of War’ I have read end to end but...it cannot compare to Musashi’s ‘The Book of FIVE RINGS’. Almost every exec from Tokyo to Singapore make it their bible of the business world.

I'm sure it was so obvious you overlooked it, but the Bible.
Also "Instant Physics" by Tony Rothman is great. Explains a lot of physics in an entertaining way, in not too many pages.

If they’re up to it, try historian Charles Mann’s new book “1493.” I’m reading it now and think it’s great.

Too much heavy reading kills brain cells, some popcorn for the mind and a great story teller is anything by Louis Lamour. Specially if you like westerns and the west as it really was....he writes about places he has been..The Sackett series is great, takes a family from their european roots in the 1700’s to America in the late 1800’s....many of his books have been make into movies. Alas he up and died and its hard to find an author who's books you consistently really like.....
