An Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge by Noah Lemos (College of William and Mary, Virginia)

Intended primarily for students taking their first classes in epistemology, this lucid and well-written text will provide an excellent introduction to anyone interested in knowing more about this important area of philosophy.
