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.
