What is not included in this book

When I gathered together all my publications in the press for the period from 1988 to 2016 years, which seemed to me interesting and worthy of inclusion in the book, I realized that such a volume would not fit in one very large book. Well, there was no need, since many previously published individual materials subsequently became comprehensive studies and books, completer and more structured compared to journal versions. These books can still be found in libraries or purchased in online stores in both paper and electronic form. Amongst them:
