Below you will find a list of books that I have found to be excellent. All of these books are “Recommended Reading” to my students and so I thought perhaps I could make this list available to my online friends and visitors as well.
As an added convenience to my readers I have included links to the book store at Amazon where you can purchase these books securely online.
