I created the following list for inclusion at the ATN Reading List. This allowed it to be accessed freely, and additionally permitted other educators to add their favorite titles. However, I worry about any venue over which I have little control. I also fear that all my work would someday be wiped away without warning! I therefore moved the list here and continued to expand it. Please contact me with suggestions or to request access as a writer on this page.
