1.The required readings are in the bookstore. They are now listed under the correct program title of Political Economy and Social Movements. Previously, they were listed in the bookstore with an incorrect program title. There is only one required economics textbook, Economics by Sherman, Hunt, etc. The bookstore mistakenly ordered a second one, by Riddell, Shackelford, etc. If you picked that one up also, you probably want to return it.
