Dear grandkidlets,
As I mentioned, my father was a passionate (okay, obsessed) researcher.
I’m amazed at the binders full of research Dad left for me, and I believe that the sheer magnitude of information gathered by my father has served to inhibit both his writing and my own.
I’ve been known to “go down wormholes” when I research. Something catches my interest and there I go – following every detail google gives me, assuming every last bit of it is critically important.
Big mistake!
I’m not sure Dad did this (I have a feeling he did), but somehow he ended up with literally BINDERS full of pages that look something like this – lists, tables, topics, etc.
Somehow… SOMEHOW Dad was able to take his throngs of research and funnel it all down to the two-page bibliography that he included in The Rim of the Volcano! My guess is that he overwhelmed himself and decided to just keep it simple – though it wouldn’t surprise me if he actually culled all his research down to the most pertinent nuggets.
In any case, here are the two – yes, only two! – pages he included in the book as a bibliography. You might need to refer back to this as you read Rim. You can always find this post again under the “Bibliography” label.
