Pre-publication edition
A pre-publication edition of this book was issued to those who attended the BCRA field meeting on 25 April 2015. Originally, it was intended to make available a list of changes to that edition. However, there have been numerous minor revisions to the text and so it is impractical to do that. Owners of the pre-publication edition should note the more significant changes, which are i) p16, 3rd "to the left is a..." should read "right". ii) p21, final para. , "...park on the road on your left" should read "right". iii) p45, 1st line, "Paradise" should read "Parkside"; same correction to caption for Figs 37 and 38. iv) p57, Fig 49 is a duplicate of Fig 48. The intended Fig 49 is absent
