~ The Book Shelf ~
|
Welcome to The Book Shelf, a resource page for books pertinent to the subject matter of this website. Included are original publications from way-back-when, current research, historical and academic texts, reference books, modern and newly minted non-fiction as well as fictional novels of historical realism. If it is topical to this website, you will likely find it here.
These books are presented according to the latest iteration of the APA-Style Publication Manual, and as such, are listed in alphabetical order (by last name of primary author) and not in order of importance, relevance, or publication date. I vouch for each and every reference; they are from my own private collection that I have read throughout the years. |
