Rabbi Slifkin's The Challenge of Creation goes in-depth over how evolution fits perfectly fine into Judaism from an Orthodox perspective.
You realize that the two are not mutually exclusive. There may be apparent contradictions, but those contradictions are often a limitation of our understanding of Torah, Science or both. There is often considerably more room in the tradition for different perspectives than some people believe. There are a lot of good thinkers on this, but thinkers on this issue generally include Slifkin - as in his book The Challenge of Creation - and Aryeh Kaplan - as in his speech The Age of the Universe: A Torah True Perspective.
The two best books on this subject, IMO, are:
The Great Partnership: http://www.amazon.com/The-Great-Partnership-Science-Religion/dp/0805243011/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0F6V6MAAKJEZ2BNHBKFA. This speaks on a more philosophical level how science and Torah complement each other.
The Challenge of Creation: http://www.amazon.com/Challenge-Creation-Encounter-Cosmology-Evolution/dp/9652295949/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395243512&sr=1-1. This goes through a myriad of traditional Torah sources to show that Torah-observant Jews have nothing to fear from science.
