These are the preferred editions which we will refer to in class, but if you already own other editions, you can use them and we'll try to refer to chapters rather than pages.

A few texts (theoretical articles) will be on Library Reserve (hard copies for the entire semester, 2 hour reserve)--marked RES in our web pages. These you can xerox (one copy is legal) or read in the library--please bear in mind that the others in our class need them too! An alumni paper is both on RES and electronic E-RES.

TEXTS PLACED ON RESERVE AT THE LIBRARY:
