In the interest of keeping your costs down, I have planned the course so that you purchase only three course text books. These three books are available at Antigone Books, 411 North 4th Avenue, 792-3715, M-Th 10-6, F-Sat 10-9, and Sun noon-5. Rather than creating a course pack, all other readings are available through electronic reserves and the CD I have provided to you.

Course textbook citations and other abbreviations include:

ER=Electronic Reserve.

CD=CD of readings.
