Because MBD spans a number of disciplines, this book list is quite eclectic. In addition, some books will have to be approached with a firm MBD bias, lest the reader get drawn off into interesting, but distracting, topics. Finally, the absence of a book does not indicate that it isn't worthwhile or appropriate to MBD. Feel free to contact me with suggestions...
