Bibliography -- Answers the question, "Is there anything else?"  Other articles, chapters, books, and websites are listed that were identified in the literature but not cited specifically because they repeated known information. We've included the bibliographies here (look under the SAMPLES tab) because they are quite long and this will help save trees.
