    • Please feel free to download these for your own personal research, but rather than sending others the file, send the link. The reason is that I intend to make frequent updates to these books and the link will always contain the most recent versions. I consider these books to be works in progress and welcome additional information and corrections. Some of the information is tentative. Please see the footnotes for more information. If you have further information please share it with me and I will make updates. Thanks.
