Errata? The book must be full of it (no pun intended.) I've noted the misuse of commas in the Preface. I won't come up with a comprehensive list, because I am not going to read the book. But here's just one example:
| Page 625: | "Most of the recent research on fusion reactors has been based on the tokomak system, and most experts feel that magnetic confinement has the greatest potential." |
| Spelling error: Although this is a common mistake (if you Google it, you'll find lots of sites describing "Tokomak fusion reactors"), the proper spelling S/B "Tokamak". ("Tokomak", incidentally is the name of a Techno/Tribal record label founded in 1999 in Berlin.) |
