At the end of each chapter you’ll find a “Further Reading” section. These sections include links to articles that relate to the topics discussed within the chapter. These articles aren’t prerequisites to understanding the topics covered in the chapter; rather, they are auxiliary readings, either describing some of the chapter topics in finer detail or providing information on related topics. In either case, I think you’ll find these suggested readings worthwhile and beneficial.
