non-fic anthologies & readers Public

Created and curated by metascribe

Only for non-fic anthologies/readers of particular authors' works, or that act as a foundational summation of the given field and its paradigmatic concepts or that acts as a "historical canon" for that field. This list does NOT include non-fiction anthologies/readers that are just compilations of the latest research articles in a field, especially if concerned with niche details, i.e. what I like to call a research field "update."
