This page is a work in progress.
We as teachers always require students to state their sources and where they got their ideas; yet students never ask the same of us – and they should. Below is a list of resources that were used to put together lectures, discussions, and readings. As stated above this is a work in progress as I have compiled a lot of sources that have influenced my own views of history. This includes many Podcast lectures that I have also listed.
