Textbooks
The following are available through the Ruminator Textbooks bookstore
on Grand Avenue. Please consult with me immediately if you have difficulties
obtaining any of them. Some reading assignments will also be provided through
electronic reserve
or other sources online. Since we will be discussing these readings extensively
in class, you will need to have a hard copy of the text, although you may share
with one other colleague. Consider this collection another, and quite inexpensive,
textbook.
