Key Parallel References
The following six references serve as excellent supplemental printed texts to this Wiki-based H_Book because the fundamental physics and astrophysics concepts that are covered in these texts have significant overlap with the concepts we are discussing. The degree to which these references provide discussions that are parallel to ours is illustrated in our accompanying key equations appendix.
