What Hacker News says
- I can recommend "The song of the cell" as a starting point. If you prefer textbooks, maybe "Life: The Science of Biology". I have a translated non-english copy and besides some math issues it's a nice overview, but I'm not a biologist.
- I would recommend 'Life: the Science of Biology' by Sadava Heller Orians Purves and Hillis. Absolutely massive book, starts with basic chemistry, goes on to biochemistry, then cell biology, and gradually works its way up in scale through ecology. http://bcs.whfreeman.com/thelifewire8e/default.asp has notes from all the chapters, interactive diagrams, and some interactive quizzes.
