Only a single book is listed for each individual. The years listed are the date of publication of the first edition, as further revisions ''without additional input from the author'' are more likely to introduce errors or factual inaccuracies. However, if a work with significantly different content is published later it will be included instead, as it is expected that it will be more comprehensive due to covering a large span of the author's life. The chief method of distinguishing between a new work and a revision, new edition, or translation of an earlier copy is that a significantly different title is used. If the work was originally published in a non-English language, the English language title is listed first, followed by the foreign language title in parentheses. | Only a single book is listed for each individual.
