Bibliography – books

Note: I’ve categorized the following hundreds of titles according to primary topic covered; however, some conceptual overlap with other topics is to be expected. Also, if any of the Web links have become defunct, just google the title and author to find the new URL. Since many of the links are quite long and thus unwieldy, I’ve replaced them with shorter ones from tinyURL.com, which simply redirects to the original links.
