Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things : What Categories Reveal About the Mind by George Lakoff
This is a slightly academic work on cognitive models, attacking the "objectivist" viewpoint and providing firm evidence that we categorize things in different ways. The implications for OO designers are serious - this book helps explain why sometimes we can't find the "right" objects, or why people differ in their choice of objects.
