The Book of Why
Judea Pearl and Dana Mackenzie
Pearl's causal ladder runs from seeing to doing to imagining, and gives causation a mathematics of its own.
Why you should read this
Written by a pioneer of Bayesian networks, this argues that statistics alone cannot answer causal questions and lays out his framework for reasoning about cause and effect. Best for readers with some grounding in probability who want the conceptual case for causal inference rather than the math.
