Some suggested titles - please don’t feel that you must purchase any of these books, but if you do then let me know what you thought of it. They are all either directly or indirectly linked to the A level course at BWS. The ‘very short introductions’ are usually very entertaining to read and can be found on Amazon (other booksellers are available) for around £5 each.
