Module 1
Each Unit section in the course materials has a list of 'Suggested' and 'Additional Reading' to enable you to explore
the area and deepen your knowledge beyond that gained through the course materials. However, we are aware
that you may not have access to all the texts and on a 3 month course you may not have time to look at all the
suggested reading. We have therefore compiled a list of core texts which are particularly relevant to your
preparation for Module 1.
