Book List for Fall courses
Students are asked to purchase all texts needed for the courses for which they register. This should be done as soon as possible, in advance to the start of the class so that you will have these texts for the Aug. 27 start date. Listed here are the editions that will be referred to in class. Other editions and/or translations are acceptable; however, it will be much easier to follow along during the class if you have the same editions or later printings of the same editions as those listed below.
