If you are interested in the book and in being kept informed of what happens around it, you can bookmark this page and send me a message so that I can notify you when the book becomes available. Besides keeping a list of corrections, I intend to make available information for the benefit of people who want to use the book for teaching, namely feedback from people who have used it already, more exercises, etc, as well as material for people who are doing research in the area – papers, conferences, groups, initiatives, etc.
