This is a list of Universal Resource Locators (URLs) that should be useful to the readers of this book. These are the addresses on the Internet and the World Wide Web for funding agencies and other valuable sources of information. The list is current as of September 2003, but you should be aware that these addresses can – and frequently do – change. If an address does not lead you to the place you expected, first check to be sure that you have spelled it correctly – a single letter changed can make the address inoperative. If there are no errors, use a search engine like Google to find the Web site you're looking for.
