The reading list for this module is necessarily long and varied as there are potentially many challenges to cover. It makes sense to concentrate on reading relevant to those challenges you have selected for your assignment. I have inserted themed subheadings to make the list easier to use, and so the list is therefore not strictly in Harvard style. Please see the student handbook in the online course space for definitive guidance on this.
