Evolution bibliography [Urgent]

Hi,

I'm writing an article for my college magazine. As always, I'm already behind the deadline. I need to include a very basic bibliography on evolutionary theory. I've included Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene and The Extended Phenotype as introductory books, but I need at least one reference to a specialised text for readers interested in a more technically rigorous exposition. The text should have an emphasis on the genetic viewpoint. I'll be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.

You seem to have read The Extended Phenotype. Doesn't Dawkins include an extensive list of suggested readings at the end of that book?
