Alastair McIntosh's Jumble of Rare Third Party Resource Material (original) (raw)

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.
