A Non-Fiction List: Art History, Art in Theory and Some Philosophy

A selection of books read over the last 15 years: some general philosophy, excluding many of the early classics; some books on anatomy; the theory and history of 'modern' art; most of these books I still possess, a few are back in the libraries.
How can the list be improved? What should be included?
