First edition, copyright 2021. Poorly indexed. Notes not tagged in the main text. Too many acronyms defined early, then reused hundreds of pages later without explanation. I will purchase the second edition if it is improved to "reference grade".

This list is public domain, not copyrighted. Feel free to copy it. Feel free to share your amended version of this list on the internet, IF YOU DO NOT COPYRIGHT your mostly-cribbed list. That goes for Dr. Prasad and Harvard University; if you want to copyright a list, write it yourself.
