These recommendations – which have been compiled by Mary Hobbins with advice and suggestions from CIEP members – are intended to give guidance to newcomers to the profession and commend additions for more experienced members to add references that relate to their specialities.
If a ‘Buy this book’ link takes you to Amazon, then it will cost you nothing extra and the CIEP will get a percentage of the price you pay.
