Further thanks to a gratifying number of other responses sent to me off-list, and
thanks (I think) to those who spun off an interesting discussion on less related
topics under the same heading :)
The online bibliography which I mentioned before (http://goo.gl/sw60DD) now has a
range of useful entries, which will be useful for my student, and hopefully useful to
others interested in the same topic. As I mentioned, that bibliography is publicly
editable, so if you have other ideas then you can simply go to that page and type
them in.
