Annotated Bibliography
9 Feb 2009: This is
the first draft, primarily just getting the list of Ward's own work
obtaing from his ASA
page and filtering out the ones that aren't directly related
to social theory/thought (more weeding is likely necessary, this
initial weeding was based on title alone).
6 April 2009: Links have been added to digital versions of all texts where I was able to find a digital version (several of the ones that don't have digital versions are available at Iowa State University's library).
