Staying Alive in avy terrain
Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain by Bruce Temper. Temper has worked with the Utah Avalanche Center for quite a long time at this point, and his book has a lot of super useful information for reading terrain and understanding the snowpack (as any good avy book should), and he gets more in depth into the science behind avalanche. More importantly,he talks about human/individual factors that are important in staying out of avy terrain altogether, reduce hazard, and avoid making mistakes/bad decisions. One of the big things I got out of the book is that avalanches in general are NOT unpredictable; any individual avalanche may be impossible to predict, but there is a lot of science that goes into forecasting/predicting avalanche conditions. A good read to help you understand what goes into avy forecasts.
