Must Read Energy Books

The most recent edition of the ABA Journal inspired me.  Its cover story is the feature "30 Lawyers Pick 30 Books Every Lawyer Should Read."

This got me thinking.  What are the must-read energy, or energy law and policy, books out there?

Looking around a little, I found one person's answer.  Alexis Madrigal, senior editor at The Atlantic and author of Powering the Dream: The History and Promise of Green Technology, came up with these "13 Energy Books You Need to Read":

1. Consuming Power by David Nye
2. Petrolia by Brian Black
3. The Prize by Daniel Yergin
4. Energy Policy in America Since 1945 by Richard Vietor
5. Technology and Transformation in the American Electric Utility Industry by Richard Hirsh
6. The Bulldozer in the Countryside by Adam Rome
7. Soft Energy Paths by Amory Lovins
8. Energy at the Crossroads by Vaclav Smil
9. Hubbert’s Peak by Ken Deffeyes
10. A Golden Thread by Ken Butti and John Perlin
11. Sorry Out of Gas: Architecture’s Response to the 1973 Oil Crisis by the Canadian Centre for Architecture
12. Wind Energy Comes of Age by Paul Gipe
13. The Discovery of Global Warming by Spencer Weart

Madrigal's is a fascinating, insightful list.  I'm still wondering: what's my list of must-read energy and energy law/policy books?

More to the point, what's yours?
