Booklist from Michael Totten:

We talked about sharing books we've been reading that may be of interest to others. With great trepidation I am attaching a long list of books I've read or reading over the past year as background research for a book I am writing. While some of you may be interested in a title or two within the dozen or so categories list, I have also highlighted in yellow 10 books or articles that I would single out for those with no time for reading.

CAVEAT: knowing I was coming to a meeting of green building/place experts, I left off most titles that would be on your most obvious green building lists, for the most part. That list would have been as long as the one attached. So, apologies if you don't see your books and reports listed. It was intentional.
