Textbooks

These books you are asked to read for the course are available through the textbook center in the Lampert Building on Snelling and Grand. Please consult with me immediately if you have difficulties obtaining any of them. Some reading assignments will also be provided through electronic reserve through the Macalester library website or other sources online. Since we will be discussing these readings extensively, you must bring a hard copy of the text to class, although you may share with one other colleague. Consider these print-outs another, and quite inexpensive, textbook.
