Readings for this course have been difficult to compile due to the diverse content covered, and consequently, the lack of a textbook.  Chapters from books and copies of articles will be made available via the Lab (EPL) secretary (Deb).  Where possible, I have also linked (colored and underlined) to resources on the internet in the table below.

Enjoy your reading!!!
