Dear Fellows and faithful readers of BMC:
Many thanks again to the members of the community who have contributed so generously to BMC either with original ideas and comments during its 60 month gestation period or by careful reading and correcting many mistakes and outright errors during post-publication review. An errata page of over 500 entries is quite a sign of community involvement (and less so of my attention to detail). There have been quite some exciting and developments and consolidations of opinions in the field in recent years, and after half a decade, an update of the books seems to be justified. Many of you have also used the book in courses, and now is your chance to voice your critique, comments, and wishes for the second edition. You might express this either informally through email to me or in a more structured response to a simple template I have available on my web site. http://www.ruppweb.org/garland/BMC_2nd_Ed_suggestions.docx ANYTHING you wish to express is fair game, from didactic pointers to subject additions, to offers for review of newly suggested chapters; any material you may have that is worthwhile of/for a better or new figure, and of course, still plenty of typos or poor English (copy editors are human, too). >From the pool of useful suggestions I will draw a winner receiving a copy of BMC2. Best wishes, BR ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Bernhard Rupp k.-k.
