Bibliography

This is NOT a full complete bibliography neither a scholastic study on the topic. Listed here are just the books I always refer to when I work on articles for this blog. Some are more essential than other but I'm grateful to their authors for the countless info i've been able to learn and share thanks to their primary researches.
