So we talked about a lot of things over the course of the weekend, and some of those things were books or articles or web pages or other things that could be looked up afterward. I thought it might be useful to collect some of those references here, in case we didn't all write everything down (I certainly didn't). If you remember something I missed, please add it in the comments.
