reading list

A suggested reading list is available as a Zotero Group Library. Note that while the group is public, you will need to be added to the group as a member in order to view the associated PDFs.

In preparing the materials for this module, I have used the following textbooks - they are not required reading, but if you have access through a library or the means to pick up a (used) copy, they can help fill in some of the details.
