Bibliography

The following are books that have substantial content on the course syllabus, meaning we will read half or most of their chapters. They have been ordered from the Columbia University Barnes & Nobles Bookstore (located on first floor of Lerner Hall, 2922 Broadway), and are also on Reserve in Butler Library. In addition, there is a Course Packet containing most (but not all) of the readings not found in these books available for purchase at Copyquick (1211 Amsterdam Ave., between 119th & 120th Streets). The course packet is also on Reserve. Some of the readings on the syllabus are only available on Reserve; however, unless otherwise noted, they are still required reading. There is also a Supplemental Graduate Course Packet on Reserve and available for purchase at Copyquick for graduate students enrolled in this course.
