Gosh, what a question! SOOO many possibilities. Here's an off-the-wall suggestion, one of my favourite reads from the last few years, but if you don't fancy that, I have many others :)
Wow, that looks glorious! And I've already learnt a new word - 'bryologist'. Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to order it immediately. Please feel free to keep posting!
I don't suppose you use Goodreads? I log all my reads (many with reviews) on there. Looking back over the last few years, these are a few of the books I enjoyed the most:
These look GREAT. Particularly The Money Burner's Manuel. (All hail, The Staff) (I have no idea what that means, but I'm really looking forward to finding out!) Thank you so much!
The Unwomanly Face of War by Svetlana Alexievich (recommended by N.P.)
Not read this one yet, but her book Second-Hand Time left a huge impression on me.
The Craving Mind (Judson Brewer)
It's on my list, thanks :D

Ha, yeah, that books a really interesting one.
I forgot to mention John Higgs - all of his books are totally brilliant, but The Future Starts Here is particularly relevant to the world today: http://johnhiggs.com/books/the-future-starts-here/
