Websites
This is a comprehensive collection
of external websites that are relevant to this course. I will add new sites as
I come across them. You can go directly to the websites listed by simply clicking
on the link listed below. You can return to this list of websites by using the
"Back" button on your web browser.
Some of the sites are general in nature and will require a little "exploring" on your part to find the information pertinent to our discussions. However, these general sites contain a lot of additional interesting stuff, so I didn't want to restrict your use of these sites only to the details specific to the course. Other sites are very specific sources of information directly relevant to the course. However, you may find that you will also enjoy exploring related links within these sites or links to other sites that begin here.
