I Believe to do this we need to release the book in every language possible, we are looking for Volunteers to work on the Translations, We currently have French and are looking for any other languages. As a not for Profit book there is no money in it but we will: - Add Your Name as a Language Editor and Give the Individual the appropriot Credit in the Text. Additionally we are looking for feedback as to what people believe are issues that should be covered in the second edition that were not covered in the first. Our Goal is to Release the New book in English and French in Mid October. Help us keep this Book available for a cost of 0. Any one interested in this please contact me off list.
