Book Recommendations & Practicing APA Style

Some people have been asking me what I've been reading in my UMN classes on my sabbatical, so here's a reading list for everyone, in APA style (for some reason, the preferred style in most education courses). I've just included the many books; there have been many, many more articles. If you're interested in the articles, let me know and I'll show them to you; I also have digital copies of nearly all of the articles, if you want one or more.
