Resources

I thought might be helpful to provide you with a resource page you can consult for links to information on Basel (in English wherever possible) and materials talked about in blog postings.  I’ll expand it as the site grows and reference it wherever possible in the posts. I suggest you bookmark it for easy reference. Enjoy!
