# Appendices

> Imported source page from Denys Poltorak's *Architectural Metapatterns* wiki. Source path: `Appendices/Appendices.md`.

Though I don’t think that you should be reading this, this book contains a few useful appendices:

- The [[wiki/concepts/source/appendices/books-referenced|list of books referenced]] in the text. Many of them are actually good to read.
- The [[wiki/concepts/source/appendices/evolutions-of-architectures|list of evolutions]] of architectures. It is very boring to read and should rather be consulted as need arises.
- A short [[wiki/concepts/source/appendices/format-of-a-metapattern|description of the structure of the metapattern chapters]].
- The [[wiki/concepts/source/appendices/glossary|glossary]], probably redundant.
- The [[wiki/concepts/source/appendices/history-of-changes|history of changes]] (revisions).
- The [[wiki/concepts/source/appendices/index-of-patterns|index of patterns]] described in the book. This one may be handy.
