Thanks for reading.

As the latest version of the book is too long to publish in one post, I am publishing excerpts individually and cataloging them here. Some excerpts were posted together, so links to multiple sections may be the same. All you need to do after you click the link is scroll down to the section you were looking for. All five subchapters of part one, for example, were published in one post. (This is not the full index.)
