Download zone

From the download zone of my web site, I will be offering access to various monographs and papers and articles that I have written over the years.

For each document offered here, my intention is shortly to write a brief abstract, and in some instances a thumbnail image; and the documents will be in time be organised thematically into groups, linked to via the yellow menu zone on the left.

However, just so there is something up here to provide access to the resources I’ve already uploaded, I shall start with a simple file list, linked to the PDFs for download. The list as currently organised prioritises those documents most likely to be of use to my students.
