Course History - Textbooks Used

-- a university of arizona course on methods and approaches for studying the future

These books have been used over the last 15 or so years for the class previously taught in regular class format. A text is no longer used for the on line version (Barker is highly recommended, however). There are a few others but my record keeping was not as good as it should be to catalog them all.
