For Further Reading

This is a list of excellent texts for reading and research, especially as you anticipate your <Public Argument> and <Wikipedia> projects. It will grow as the semester progresses, and I invite you to help me grow it by sending along recommendations for other texts you think should be added. Most of these have already been added to our BB Course Library, if they are not linked below.

-Prof. Graban
