So, what did Richard Thompson publish, where was it published. Assume

No mention of mathematical methods as they relate to any aspect of
the subject. Hmm, odd that a mathematician who'd be interested in
the subject enough to co-author an encyclopedic summary of method
and data, albeit "forbidden", would not have made a professional
effort. I'll wait on the cites before toddling off to the departmental
libraries.
