Suggested Bibliography for Book Reviews

The criteria for the following books are quite imprecise. The books, for the most part, are interesting to read, fairly short, and not too technical. The books were selected from those available in the Larry A. Jackson Library (marked with a "ü ") or from Waldenbooks in Greenwood and Barnes and in Greenville. If you choose to order a book from a bookseller, please do so early in the semester in order to allow for time to do the report. Links are provided below to Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble on the web. The list below is only suggestive and is based on choices made by previous students.
