Further Readings in Geographic Research
Below are a few recommendations for resources worthy of further review related to inquiry in geography (and scientific inquiry in a more general sense). The list is starting out short, but it will grow. I hope the resources listed here will spur on your thinking and give you good ideas for application in your work.

A couple of notes on these readings links:
- Links related to articles published in academic journals
direct you to a journal website. In these cases, if you are accessing
this course website from a UNT computer, you will be able to
download, read and save a PDF version of the reading.
- Some links related to books direct you to an Amazon.com link that provides full information on the book. I am not suggesting that you need to buy these books, or that Amazon is the best place to purchase if you do wish to buy the book. However, these book links provide a helpful summary of full bibliographic information (and in some cases, reviews and partial content) for each volume. You might find these volumes in our UNT library or other local sources.
