The works listed here have influenced or inspired me in some way. I don't claim to agree with all that they state, but have found them of sufficient interest to recommend them to others. Except for the last three items above, the text of the books above this comment are included on this website. They are in the public domain and can be freely copied (to the best of my knowledge). The books listed below are not in the public domain, but can probably be found at most libraries and are available for purchase online at various retailers. -MJW
