Hello, Cindy This is actually a research paper from a PhD student in Barcelona. She completed her study in 2005, and included the article in her PhD thesis available at http://www.tdx.cat/bitstream/handle/10803/3666/cmps1de1.pdf?sequence=1
Some of the terms of her work will be familiar to those that are FTDNA users. But it helps (a lot) to know several languages. I see Spanish, English, Portuguese and French at least. The article in question starts in page 120, and is written in English. It helps a lot to try to dig deeper into Google when you see an 'ebook' with such a title. They are usually research papers. Still $6 for one can be considered cheap. They used to cost about $50. On the other hand, considering that all her work was financed through a Portuguese government grant, I find it funny that Amazon and others are now deriving profit from it. Actually not funny at all. It reminds me that the US Government drove Aaron Swartz to commit suicide, as a result of his actions to make this kind of work freely available to all.
