October 1, 2017:  The First Release

After three years of organizing, writing, and editing, the first release of this website has occurred.  The initial release includes 493 articles.  As described below, the site is far from complete.  In fact, it will never be complete!  Articles will be edited, new articles will be added, and tools, presentations, and other related material will be created and uploaded on a (somewhat) regular basis.  Below is a list of the Volumes and Chapters that are “complete” followed by a list of the major items that will be added over time.  Even though the chapters are listed as complete, new articles will be added over time.  In fact, over fifty article subjects have been identified.  Those articles, as they are written, will be added to the site.
