On-Line Resources

These links have been selected because either they provide additional information related to the issues we have covered in class or you may find them useful in your self-directed explorations of the net. Even though these aren't official assigned readings, your time on many of these sites will be well rewarded.

All of these links are excellent in some aspect--otherwise they wouldn't be listed. A select few of them, however, have been given a special thumbs up by the instructor.

This list will be updated during the course of the semester. The new tag signifies entries added within the past week.
