To paraphrase Bob Dylan, on the Budokan album (recorded in 1978), "I wrote this book, uh, about 10 years ago ... still means a lot to me, hope it means a lot to you." It's not Blowin' in the Wind, but it still has its uses. This is the third edition, and publishing it this way means there's never going to be any need to produce a fourth.
Here is the list of contents, with hyperlinks to the individual chapters. Some of them have health warnings until I get them up to date: some, you will find, are empty, but I will populate them as soon as I can.
