Bibliography
References to works cited in the text are made via the Harvard system of author's
name and date of publication, thus: (Adams 2005). If not otherwise referenced,
quotations are copied from the summarizing and general works that are referenced
near the beginning of the chapter or section. I received James Lequeux' new biography
of François Arago (Lequeux 2008) too late to be able to take advantage of its
comprehensive scholarship.
