Editor’s Note
These are a collection of draft files of reference lists, assembled roughly in
order of the chapters of the book. The dates on the draft files range from 1996
to 1999, suggesting the author completed the major part of literature review,
which began about 1986, during those years. I added a few references at
the end (under ”Additional References”) which I found with the manuscript
and which are cited therein. Many entries include the author’s notes on
the reference or other items to check. Numbers of draft chapter sections
have been removed. An unknown number are sources the author checked but
decided not to include or cite in the book. No effort has been made to identify
these or place the entire list of several thousand entries in alphabetical order.
The interested reader is encouraged to use a digital search by name or term
of interest.
