This booklet is a wonderful tool to get a quick overview of many of Warfield’s papers written between 1982 and 1996 without having to read through them and figure out what they are about. Titles are listed chronologically, with summaries of each article in Warfield’s own words, sometimes an abstract, or a brief foreword, or a table of contents, sometimes one or two pages for the article. Often the material in these IASIS reports or monographs would be used in subsequent books or articles.
