Resources

There really aren't any new ideas (but always new connections) so a bibliography of sorts is needed and hopefully this will list most of the materials I will reference in blog posts. I'm not including links, but I will include ISBN numbers where appropriate. If any of these materials interest you, please consider purchasing them from Byron Borger at Hearts and Minds Bookstore or other independent booksellers. If it is not listed on Bryon's site, email him and he can probably get it. This list will be updated.
