The following is a list of books
that should be useful to you for clearing up points my lectures don't make
clear, or merely for casual, instructive reading (yeah, sure, Dr Jack!). For those of you with access to a
college library I have also provided call numbers for the vast majority of the
books. In addition to books, I have listed several useful periodicals at the
end of this document. Apologies, blogger is NOT recognizing my tabs, so the library call numbers are not in a neat line, though I hope they'll be useful to some of you!
