A Note About This Module
 
     This module differs from other modules in this series in that it contains less material in the Background Information and more activities.  In place of extensive Background Information, each unit asks students to read several key readings selected by the author.  These readings are summarized within the text of each unit and are referred to in many of the activities.

     The AAG has been unable to obtain reasonable permission to reprint any of the suggested readings in the WWW-version of this module.  A full list of suggested readings is included in Appendix B of this module.  To use this module most effectively, the instructor should obtain these readings through his/her own library (or through inter-library loan) and place them on reserve for students.  Several of the readings are available in the printed version of this module available through the AAG.

    Appendix A contains an annotated bibliography of additional readings that might be useful for the instructor and students.  Both the module and the annotated bibliography were adapted from a semester-long, interdisciplinary course taught at Syracuse University.
