Appendix D. Bibliography
A wise old professor once told us that it is not important to know the answers to everything as long as you know where to find the answers when you need them. In that spirit, we’ve compiled a list of references to books, articles, and Internet resources that you might find useful when looking for additional information on the various topics discussed throughout this book. We’ve tried to categorize them as best we could, however, keep in mind that several references cover more than just the subject matter referred to in the category headings we’ve assigned.
