What’s a good book to start with if I want to know more about mid-century architecture and/or interior design?

Brutalism, Eero Saarinen, mid-century modern design, and all the stuff I don’t know the right words for because I have yet to study this subject. It all seems pretty neat to me. An optimistic look into the future, a celebration of productivity, design that is both synthetic and organic. The good, the bad, and the ugly of it all.

What’s a good place to start?
