The Screwtape Letters
\n<\/strong><\/em>C. S. Lewis<\/p>\n

The Screwtape Letters<\/em> has continued to speak directly to my desire, which emerged when I was still relatively young, to better understand the choices I make in life. In this allegorical tale, Lewis brilliantly exposes the subtle lies and veiled temptations that can tilt our decision-making, and ultimately, the way we live our lives. Now older, I still appreciate the wonderfully humorous and, at the same time, deadly serious manner in which Lewis exposes the spiritual warfare that lurks just below the surface for many of us.<\/p>\n

Raymound Koechlin’s two-volume set is the seminal work on French Gothic carved ivories and point of departure for all scholarly work on these exquisite and intriguing objects, cataloguing almost 1500 items along with plates.

The World As Design
\n<\/strong><\/em>Aicher, Otl<\/p>\n

Otl Aicher ‘looks through the stupidities of fashion and vanity’ in architecture. As a founding member of the post-war BAUHAUS in Neu-Ulm, Germany, he took the priority of practical work in the education of architects at universities for granted and was heavily against uncritical faith in academic theory with its ‘inflated tendency to analysis and increasing impotence in terms of doing.’ (Wolfgang Jean Stock). This is a seminal work which ought to be the first book read in architecture education.<\/p>\n

The first book by one of the most influential historians of the last fifty years, and by an author the breadth of whose writing has had a major (perhaps the most) impact on my own research.\u00a0 I admire this book because it introduces questions that drove many of Foucault’s later projects, and for its clever account of the birth of liberalism.<\/p>\n

Anne Sexton: A Biography
\n<\/strong><\/em>Diane Wood Middlebrook<\/p>\n

I have been greatly inspired by the life and work of Anne Sexton. In 2005, shortly after the birth of my first daughter, I choreographed a piece entitled Game Point. This solo is performed to a recording of Anne Sexton reading three of her most iconic poems: Her Kind<\/em>, Ambition Bird<\/em>, and Music Swims Back to Me<\/em>. Sexton’s poetry has taught me much about the details of rhythm and how to conjure strange beauty. And most importantly, she has deepened my appreciation for the power of art-making to revive.<\/p>\n

This book was my first exposure to the art and science of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, a field that quickly became my passion. A must read for all civil engineers.<\/p>\n

<\/a>One, None and One Hundred Thousand
\n<\/strong><\/em>Luigi Pirandello<\/p>\n

No name. No memory today of yesterdays name; of todays name, tomorrow. [Carving a name] is fitting for those who have concluded. I am alive and I do not conclude. Life does not conclude. And life knows nothing of names I am this tree. Tree, cloud; tomorrow book or wind.<\/p>\n

Deep Survival
\n<\/strong><\/em>Laurence Gonzales<\/p>\n

It’s an accessible and engaging collection of research on the relationship between cognition and emotion. Its central lesson of bold humility is a deceptively complex notion that can be applied to any expedition intended to challenge boundaries\u00a0 in the lab, in the studio or in other remote and harsh landscapes.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth
\n<\/strong><\/em>M. K. Gandhi<\/p>\n

In this book, Mahatma Gandhi presents his views, experiments, and struggle in his quest for\u00a0 Truth –\u00a0 not only to the truthfulness in word and deed, but also in thought. Even though I\u00a0 may not agree with all his methods of experimentation or conclusions he drew from them, his great resolve for the truth and his constant introspection of his thoughts, I find,\u00a0 very inspirational.<\/p>\n

Equine Behavior: A Guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists
\n<\/strong><\/em>Edited by: Paul McGreevy, BVSc PhD MRCVS<\/p>\n

From the first moment I touched a horse, at the ripe old age of four, there’s been nothing more beloved or magical in my world.<\/p>\n

Ender’s game
\n<\/strong><\/em>Orson Scott Card<\/p>\n

This book is one of the best science fiction stories ever told. Upon close reading, the story also offers lessons relevant to real-world dilemmas that have little relationship to science.<\/p>\n

Bones and Cartilage
\n<\/strong><\/em>Brian K Hall<\/p>\n

My entire research ‘career’ has focused on the cell and molecular biology of cartilage and bone. Brian Hall’s book presents the subject of cartilage and bone biology in an entertaining evolutionary developmental context that bridges conventional ‘species’ and ‘pathology’ boundaries.<\/p>\n

Mother Nature
\n<\/strong><\/em>Sarah Blaffer Hrdy<\/p>\n

S. B. Hrdy provides a richer understanding of female reproductive decisions from an evolutionary perspective and her work has enormously influenced my research.\u00a0 By selecting Mother Nature, I hope to honor diversity in female reproductive decisions and Hrdy for placing studies of women’s behavior and biology in evolutionary context.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Feynman Lectures

Modern American Poetry and Modern British Poetry
\n<\/strong><\/em>Louis Untermeyer<\/p>\n

When I was small, my father read to me from this book of poetry. I loved the stories and characters in his favorite poems, as well as the intricate patterns of sound and imagery that revealed them. They showed me language as both meaningful and musical: the very foundation of literary artistry.<\/p>\n

Developing Sociological Knowledge
\n<\/strong><\/em>Bernard P. Cohen<\/p>\n

Dr. Cohen is my mentor.\u00a0 This book, his most well-known, is a must-read for any serious scientist, not just sociologists.\u00a0 It reflects his commitment to rigorous theorizing in the social and behavioral sciences — a commitment he imparted to me and many of his other students.\u00a0 We are grateful.<\/p>\n

Frederic Chopin Esquisses Pour Une Methode de Piano
\n<\/strong><\/em>Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger<\/p>\n

This is a uniquely enlightening book on Chopin’s original and progressive ideas on piano technique.\u00a0 His extraordinary vision and parallelism of the way the hand relates to the keyboard with the way the feet function in relation to the human body has revolutionized my way of thinking about technique.\u00a0 It also inspired my own ‘Symmetrical Warm-ups’ a collection of short exercises I devised within the last two years, soon to be published by Hal Leonard Corporation.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Nature of Explanation
\n<\/strong><\/em>Kenneth Craik<\/p>\n

This is a little-known, but highly insightful look at the nature of explanation. In it, Craik proposes what is now an increasingly important analogy between scale models and the mental representations involved in the possession of explanations.<\/p>\n
