Book List

These books are generally available at the Campus Bookstore, and copies of each -- along with required reprints and selections from other books -- have been placed on 3-hour reserve in Stauffer Library. Specific paper topics will be negotiable, within the context of the weekly subject areas assigned and the core readings involved. Outside reading, either to supplant or to supplement assigned readings, is encouraged -- as is consultation with the professor. Please note that Stauffer Library will become your "laboratory" for this course and that there is no reason to purchase all the books for the course.
