Athenaeum

You may call it The Library of Alexandria, The Library of Pantainos, or even the ancient Roman Forums.  I like to call it a brain dump, or better yet, a safety net. Here you will find local cached copies of all of the work that I have quoted in each of the articles.  Over time I have sourced many pages throughout books, microfiche, and websites. It would behoove me to create a local repository so that this knowledge does not fade away with time.

Bare with me, as I am working towards changing the bibliographies into hyperlink referencing the local download copies. Before this page becomes overloaded with massive hyperlinks.
