Style Notes

The entry in the bibliography should include the names of all authors.
In the bibliography (but not the footnotes), invert the first author’s name (i.e. surname, given name).
In footnotes, give the name only of the first author, followed by ‘et al.’ (Latin for ‘and others’).
Specify the edition if it is not the first edition.
Page numbers are not given in the bibliography entry.
Use the shortened form for second and subsequent footnotes.
