Bibliography

(updated 2024 May 1)

Bibliography, including Inspirational, References and Background Sources (some of them) used in writing the Adventure– novels

Given the Adventure-– story concept and setting, as well as the breadth of subjects in the Adventure-– stories, a substantial amount of reference on quite a number of subjects needed to be performed in order to have the Adventure — setting and stories as realistic as possible.

Something always seemed to need being looked up, referenced, learned about, checked with someone more informed than the writer in the mini-subject, in order to continue writing a chapter…actually, veritably all of them.

Listed here are (some of the ones which can be remembered) print sources which were of import in researching background for and aspects of the Adventure– stories. You may find the breadth of subject matter a bit interesting.

(No apologies for not using proper APA bibliography format; this is an ongoing fill-in, informal, “information only,” project)

Because writing continues on additional Adventure– stories, this list keeps getting longer.
