Books

Much of the work done on the Distance Delta is individual research. This means that in addition to the specially designed Distance Delta material and

resource books which you generally use, you need to have access to appropriate library facilities. The following list is an indication of some of the most

useful texts referred to in the Distance Delta. Specific references for study purposes will be given in the course material. However, please note that

your reading will largely be dictated by the areas which you need to research and as a result, you may wish to read texts not included in this list.  Core

texts are indicated with an asterisk (*).
