Pedro, undoubtedly is an excellent book! My supervisor is one of the authors and I followed the book edition. I can assure you it was done very carefully and that the authors were very well chosen. It is a well-deserved tribute to the great scientist, philosopher and friend Rafael. By the way, it has to do with Rafael's birthday, but I will not reveal the age :-)
