The Wesoomi Bibliography:
Recently a friend asked me where I get my ideas for what I write. That caused me to think about my reference material and credits.
In the Douay version of the Christian Old Testament we find this opening
phrase:
"In the beginning God created Heaven, and earth."
The King James version is only slightly different:
"In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth."
In both cases, God apparently created something out of nothing. Since then, I doubt that anything came out of a void. Everything grows out of something else. That is most certainly true of my writing. In creating these discussions I have borrowed heavily from many great writers. So, lest I be accused of plagiarism, it is time for me to give some proper credit. This, then is my bibliography to date. There is a possibility that I have overlooked some of my sources. That is not intentional. It is regrettable but probably inevitable given the times involved and my own fallibility.
In most cases, it is impossible to trace the exact genesis of my thoughts and ideas, so I must necessarily take a partly generalized approach to credits. In all cases where I quoted or borrowed directly, I do give credit within the text. For the rest, these are sources which I used or considered in the development of this set of books. Not all of these references apply to any particular book of this series, but all are relevant to the whole series. In this list, I note the place and form wherein I found the material. Some are actual books. Some are web addresses. They may all be available in other places or forms. In addition I have learned a great deal from the internet, from many university library web sites and other specialized web sites.
