In-Depth Information
Many of the following texts have been chosen because they are
not
arcane academic texts gathering dust in university libraries and are
fairly readily available. In this age of the Internet, book stores such
as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Abe Books provide a repository
of original texts or digitized data (e-books) from around the globe.
The scientific pool of knowledge contained within them is thus
widespread and not esoteric or restricted in nature. It has been the

an overview of the world's scientific and medical knowledge at this
point in time at the start of the 21st century. Many of the references
in the diffusion and computational section are taken from the first
author's PhD.
