References

I make no apology for the age of many of these references; most of them refer to the introduction of an idea, rather than the latest glosses on it. Such later critiques and revisions tends to appear in academic journals which remain relatively inaccessible to real people. Major references (IMHO) are in bold [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] [H] [I] [J] [K] [L] [M] [N] [O] [P] [Q] [R] [S] [T] [U] [V] [W] [X] [Y] [Z]	References
