1. When there was no abstract and we wrote one, this was noted by *. These
   abstracts may incorporate the authors ' words.'

4. When the author wrote an abstract especially for this bibliography, this was noted by ****.
5. When an abstract accompanied the article, chapter, paper, or book,
   that abstract was used. No asterisk accompanies such abstracts. If we
   added extra information to the abstract, that extra information appears
   in brackets, with asterisks -- see 1 to 4 above -- to identify its
   source.
