Reserve Reading

I have tried to place on reserve a few books that are particularly helpful in studying our topic. My personal library in the office is vast and broad; you are encouraged to stop by and borrow items as necessary. The following items are on reserve in the BH library:

John Hick, Evil and the God of Love
Hugo Bedeau, Thinking and Writing About Philosophy (on reserve for Phil 100)
A binder with an assortment of articles
A video of "Train of Life" ("Train de Vie") which might be helpful if you are working on the Holocaust, Maus, or the midterm
A CD copy of several banned Looney Tunes and Disney cartoons
