Book recommendations?
My wife has very kindly asked me to put together a wish list of photography books. For me, these would lean in the people/street/studio direction, although general photography topics also do get my attention.
Some of my favorites that are already well-worn are:
Specific photographers:
Arnold Newman, by Philip Brookman
An Inner Silence -- portraits by Cartier-Bresson
Good advice:
The Photographer's Eye, by Michael Freeman
The Moment it Clicks, by Joe McNally
Train Your Gaze, by Roswell Angier
I am very interested in what resources you all might come up with (doesn't have to be books, even -- are there any magazines that focus on people??) that I might not be familiar with...
I would probably be interested in post-production stuff, too -- like HDR, for example.

How about if we look beyond books, and include things like DVD's on lighting, posing, etc?
Lightroom is already on my list, although that is obviously not just "people oriented"
