Design Engaged book list

Here’s what we suggested by leaving post-its on a wall like this. Set aside a few years if you want to work your way through. There were amazingly few overlaps; I think “A Thousand Years of Non-linear History” was on two peoples’ lists.

I had to guess in one or two places where the title wasn’t clear; if you spot an error, let me know. (Which “The Red Queen” is correct? They both sound good.)
