Well, I'll go ahead and nominate Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner. I'm going to be rereading it soon anyway and it is a book I think anybody who lives west of the Mississippi should read.

It is a history of water policy in the American west with a particular emphasis on the great dam building era of the 1930s-1950s. Very accessibly written without much technical jargon.
