Для создания лекций я решил пользоваться только аутентичными источниками. Более того, я сделал акцент не только на классических пособиях и труднодоступных изданиях, но и на современных учебниках и справочниках на момент создания лекций.
Ниже представлен список качественных книг, учебников и статей, а также важнейших словарей и энциклопедий, использованных для создания лекций и презентаций по страноведению США и Великобритании.
Я решил включить в него по 30 источников по каждой стране, которые могут показаться пользователям курса наиболее интересными или полезными. Полный список источников насчитывает более 100 наименований.
