These are the bibliographies for the course.

I add to them occasionally; they are never "finished". The list is not complete, nor do I intend that they are somehow the "best" books. It's simply a collection compiled over time that is intended to help you when you want to know more about something.

You should be able either to find these works in our library, or to order them through Interlibrary Loan.
