Here are reading suggestions culled from the virtual "shelves" of Amazon.com, the well-known online bookstore. These books are for sale, and you can read more about them and purchase them by clicking on the book title or jacket photo below.
I've selected titles that promise to broaden or deepen our understanding of design concepts, human behavior, or notable architects and thinkers in the realm of architecture and design.
On the functional side of things, Amazon.com offers gift-wrapping, lets you add a gift message, and will ship books anywhere in the world. Here's additional information about Amazon.com's shipping options, customer service, and payment options, security, and privacy.
