You could try Carl Sagan if you haven’t already. I’ve read some on your list, but I started with Sagan as a teenager. His stuff holds up.
I’ve just finished or read recently:
The zoologists guide to the galaxy by Arik Kershenbaum
An immense world by Ed Young
Explaining humans by Camilla Lang
Notes from deep time by Helen Gordon
Urban jungle by Ben Wilson
Steven Pinker for evolutionary/linguistic, Siddhartha Mukherjee on medicine/biology, Brian Greene on quantum physics
**Life 3.0** is written by physics professor Max Tegmark. It takes a broad definition of ‘life’ and extends it to artificial intelligence, presenting the spectrum of futures mankind is facing.
Part of the information-dense book discusses the basis for AI via physics’ rules and properties, and another part discusses how life could expand throughout the universe.
T Rex and the Crater of Doom by Walter Alvarez
Wonderful Life by Dr. Stephen Jay Gould. It’s about the Burgess Shale fossils that helped document the Cambrian Explosion, and also about the history of paleontology and classics. Great read.
