This page contains links to PDF files third party material that I hold on
this website for use by colleagues, students and special interest groups. They're
a jumble,not in any order. I keep adding, and in time search engines crawl and pick
them up. If any copyright holder takes exception, please email me a "take-down"
notice, otherwise my assumption with this hard-to-find material is that most of
the authors would be only too glad to know it's out there. I certainly am with
my papers when shared non-commercially and non-exclusively. Some of these links will take you via an
intermediary page on my website that provides context or multiple download options.
Unfortunately I am not able to accommodated the requests I receive to
host other people's material here that is not of my own choosing. Most of this
material is either unavailable elsewhere on the web, or not widely known about. I hope it's useful -
enjoy a rummage through the jumble.

wrong, and if any author or publisher is not happy with my posting material here,
perhaps they could contact me and I will forthwith pluck out the offending eye.
