The following list references books and articles I have read with my project in mind. Each listed reading will have a dedicated blog post comprised of a brief synapsis and how or what I have found relevant to my project. This list, like the project, is a work in progress. I will be adding books and articles as I read them, related blog posts may be added or altered at a later point in time. So, please check the blog for more on the listed work and to add your thoughts and comments.
