This is a website for book recommendations from Dr. Barbara Oakley, the instructor for the online course I took last summer in "Learning How to Learn." It's remarkable how many of her favorites are books that I really like! I should check out other recommendations like these below. (Those with call numbers are available at libraries near me.)
