Project Co-director Fraser Watts Recommends:
These recommended books are drawn from a wide variety of sources and are presented in two formats: grouped by subject and alphabetically arranged by author. In drawing up and revising the list of books, we have tried to keep in mind the particular needs and interests of the Templeton-Cambridge fellows. The lists are not intended to be comprehensive.
