In the interest of keeping your costs down, I have planned the course so that you purchase only two course text books. These two books are available at Antigone Books, 411 North 4th Avenue, 792-3715. Rather than creating a course pack, all other readings are available through electronic reserves. Some of these texts also are available online--in those cases, I provide you the URL to those resources. Finally, if the electronic reserve proves less readable, I also will make available the original copies of those readings on electronic reserve. Thus, you may copy those readings from the originals whenever you prefer.

Course textbook citations and other abbreviations include:

Lefebvre, Henri. (1991). The production of space. Trans. Donald Nicholson-Smith. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing. (Lefebvre)

Soja, Edward W. (1989). Postmodern geographies: The reassertion of space in critical social theory. London: Verso. (Soja)

Note: These texts are available on 7-day library reserve. See the reserve section of this page for other reserve materials.
