(note from Greet: I've noted which copies I own, which sources I've read carefully, and which ones have been recommended to me from whom. They are organized by topic that I'm interested in, and appear more than once as appropriate to the topic that I'm researching. Links for shopping might also appear on the useful-links-elsewhere list here.)
