The purpose of this page is to present the shortest list of resources that in turn provides the most comprehensive information for this subject area - publications, activities, up-to-date links etc. The emphasis is on sites with an international outlook and inevitably this results in the omission of a large number of excellent sites, journals etc. that primarily serve the educational interests of particular countries.
