Astronomy
Of the texts not strictly related to my degree, or the courses I took in language and music in college, this was one of the few I kept! What a great book this is, covering essential and key concepts relevant to our modern understanding of physics and astronomy. The book also comes with electronic source material, making it an especially good focus of reference for the field of astronomy.
