This page lists all the sources used for the research of the chapters and provides a reading list for those who want to learn more about the topics in this chapter. The references are sorted by category, alphabetically, and by date when you select the drop down menu. In the date view, if the full date of a book or academic paper is not known, the last day of the publication year is used. The links on this page will be updated regularly to avoid broken links. Some links, especially those to the Internet Archives, may not be accessible in certain regions due to censorship. Thanks to Quentin Botha for the idea and the manual effort to categorize the references in this database format!
