    Most important recent books?

    Trying to put together my reading list for my research, but my reading list is faintly dated. What are some of the most important books about transportation planning practice to come out in the past ten years or so?

    The only one off the top of my head is ITE's Context Sensitive Design for Thoroughfares. The rest of them IMHO are just rearrangement of the deck chairs.

    High Cost of Free Parking

    The High Cost of Free Parking. Agree with Don Shoup or not, it is widely quoted. And I think there is a lot of good material in there, personally.
