BOOKS
WEB PAGE
You should purchase the first three books from the
IMU Bookstore or online, for example, at
www.amazon.com. There will also be a collection of
journal articles
to read. Almost all of the
required article readings have been archived electronically either through this
course website, through electronic journals, or through
electronic reserve at the University of Iowa's Psychology Library.
For those articles on
electronic reserve through the University of Iowa's Psychology Library,
these may be
accessed to print-out at
http://libres.lib.uiowa.edu/psych/
under "Electronic Reserves" Course Listing – Bills 07B-134.
Also listed below are several
other
books for anyone who would
like a good overview of education and work. These books are highly recommended. I haven't placed an order
for them, but they should be easily available from either the Iowa
Memorial Union Bookstore or online (e.g., through
www.amazon.com):
