Attention is given to both academic and trade sources, for my as sumption has been that not all first approximations to knowledge and insight in this undeveloped terrain have come from the acade mician. Where the competent research is scanty, I have assumed that the judgments of experienced people furnish one of the jump ing-off points for the meaningful consideration of important material.
