This is a collection of links to follow up the cultural references in Ch. 9 of Thagard's book Natural philosophy. I did not know all of them, and thought they made a nice set. So, given time and help, we created a list of all that are mentioned.

Use case: Read the book and if you have have questions about the references, or want to be more erudite, read this page and its associated links.

Note: many of these links are fragile. If they are broken, use the google links included.
