Note: This is a version of the bibliography from Describing People (2025) that contains live links to resources listed.
It includes references for the deleted chapter on red hair, and also some on the subject of human gait (walking) — I moved this chapter to the book Describing Action (2026) but forgot to remove the bibliography references.
Links are only included where the full text of an item is available online.
If you find a ‘dead’ or missing link, please let me know via the contact page and I’ll try to fix it.
