Appendix B
OTHER KEY BOOKS ON TA

In selecting the few 'key b o o k s ' named in this A p p e n d i x , we d o n o r intend

any adverse comment on the quality of the many other books currently
available on T A . T h e books we cite here have been chosen on two
criteria. T h e y are either compendium volumes, which give a broad
overview of T A theory and practice; or widely-accepted statements of the
position of one of the three ' T A schools'. In both these senses, they are
'keys' to further reading and study in T A .
We do not give any indication whether a book is currently in print,
since this information may change at short notice with individual
publishers' decisions.
