Winifred Gallagher's House Thinking: A Room by Room Look at How We Live is a book that goes into great detail about the history of the house - looking at interior and exterior design. She deals with mostly American homes, and why things have evolved into the homes that are stylish today.
Who knew the psychological aspects of room interiors? Some people can't stand the "great room" concept, while others thrive on the largesse of the space. And you learn how the car, family dining practices, and the different parts of the country can effect how your house has been designed.
What was interesting was the theory that some people pefer their "home" environment at work to their actual living address. This book gives you something to think about...and makes you look around at your dwelling.
