Books

Resources Overview

This section includes writings by Institute staff and colleagues since the 1960s of books, university theses, memoirs and periodicals. Books are below; above are additional writings and periodicals.

Some two hundred books have been written by Institute colleagues over the years, ranging from non-fiction to fiction, sprituality, history, and methods. The photo above shows many of them.

As you review these books, you will see some titles in bold blue. Clicking on the titles may take you to where the book can be purchased. In some cases it will take you to a PDF of the book that you can read online. In other words these writers have given permission for their books to be scanned, making their writing available for anyone in the world to read.

If you have a book you are willing to have posted online, email a PDF copy to globalarchives@ica-usa.org.
