Reading Materials on Development

Readings compiled by J'Anne Ellsworth

In some ways, this list is dated. Many of the books are older. I chose them because I read them and find them interesting or useful. In a way, I suppose, they are old friends of mine, and each of these is in my personal collection. These books will be easy to find in libraries or used book stores, often in a newer edition.
