According to Springer, my first (last?) book will be out October 29 2010.

when I get a chance I must thank everyone who helped with case studies, images, references. They have been magnificent. The publication deadline was insane (my fault, not the publishers), so if there is a second edition I vow to catch and remedy any issues or errors that might pop up. Anyway, good to see it is in the pipeline, I really must ask if an image can go on the cover for the online version. And I promise the book is a little more interesting than the author bio. Ouch, must remedy that.
