　　4.New diagrams and data-based exercises: Several new diagrams, graphs and data-based exercises are included in various chapters.

　　5.Different use of data: Small-sized data are included in the book, but large sample data are posted on the book's web site, thereby minimizing the size of the text. The web site will also publish all the data used in the book.
