Book Projects

Friends and colleagues have asked about the book projects on which I'm working during chapter 5 of my career.[1]  Here is the current list (some require access privilege; please write to me with your request.) Some have grown out of the classes I taught during chapter 4, while at UMSI (where available, links to the drafts are included).  Please note that these are works in progress, subject to amendment as I receive feedback and edit.
