BOOKS

Below is a small subset of the books that have influenced my understanding and mental scaffolding of their related fields. Many of the names listed have a temporal relationship with my relative understanding of the subject material at the time. As such, some books may appear overly "simplistic" relative to other titles. As stated above, each book's impact is relative and not absolute in terms of value.
