Leituras selecionadas
A listagem a seguir inclui livros importantes e/ou recentes, assim como artigos sobre os temas de cada uma das aulas do curso. A seleção dos artigos foi feita com base em critérios estritamente subjetivos. Para alguns temas, incluí artigos clássicos que não foram mencionados nas aulas. Em muitos casos, incluí artigos que me parecem interessantes e que apresentam o tema de forma geral e didática. Na maioria dos casos, selecionei artigos não focados em grupos taxonômicos específicos, pois o objetivo aqui é prover um "cardápio" bem geral de leituras. Espero que a seleção seja útil para você.
