Volume 2 - Part I: Glossary List – This post marks the transition from Volume 1 to Volume 2 in the development of this book provisionally titled “Making Good Decisions”.
Volume 1, a book of connections, has 120 two-page sections that make connections between a large number of authors and ideas. Volume 1 includes the Template for Reading Research Papers that recapitulates these connections in a printable format that readers can use to document their own reading.
Volume 2, a book of collections, provides one-page Glossary entries for key terms, terms-of-art, and key authors. It also includes “Checklists” with additional details behind the Template for Reading Research Results, and other conceptual tools.
The pdf attached to this post shows the current list of key terms, terms-of-art, and key authors so that readers can suggest changes to the Glossary entries based on their own reading of sections from Volume 1.
Volume 3, a book of examples, provides detailed notes from reading foundational books and papers, presented in the format of the Template for Reading Research Papers. As readers continue to suggest recent papers, this volume may include notes from reading state-of-the-art papers.
For more information about the book, volumes, audience & purpose, see the “Pinned Post” at the top of this Substack Newsletter, and its attached pdf – the Introduction for Volume 1.
Starting with this post, the push-to-completion, 7-days-a -week posting schedule for Volume 1 changes to a business-like 5-days-a-week posting schedule for volume 2.
Finally, many thanks to the Founding Members, and paid Subscribers who renewed their subscription as we recently passed our one year mark with Substack. This will help defray the cost of hiring professional editors to formally publish this book at the rate of one volume per year.
