Errata

In order for you to get the appropriate errata list, you must first determine which printing of the text you have. Go to the page in the text after the title page and before the dedication page where you will find the Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data and other information. At the bottom, you will see:

Printed in the United States of America

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3

The last number tells you the printing. Thus in the case here, the 3 indicates the third printing.

Images and figures
Every figure from the text is available in pdf form for non-commercial from the Wiley image site. Of course if you'd like to use such a figure in another book or scholarly article, you must contact the Wiley Permissions Department.
Lecture slides

Thanks in great part to Djamel Bouchaffra and Vittorio Murino there is now a set of Powerpoint slides to accompany the text. If you have Powerpoint slides that you'd like to contribute, please contact David Stork.
