Books and Links

If you have any questions you will find there is a lot of good info on the Internet. Just put in simple keywords and you will find answers to many of your questions. As different opinions are offered you will have decide what you wish to take on.

I have collected the sites listed here with simple web surfing, most were just on the first page to come up. Others were found through links in other sites and recommendations.

While the sites listed here contain a great deal of good info, I don’t necessarily agree with everything in them. 

In fact, some of these websites do not agree with each other on certain points but a few minor points of disagreement is no reason to reject what is generally good info, so it's up to you to decide what info you  use.
