(27)  Figure 2-8 caption;

"...connection to the Author Credentials Database actor."


(33)  2nd paragraph;

dotted arrow"

rest..."


(48)  4th sentence;

{89} "Note" on generalization;
the last sentence reads
"Although it's true to say that a guitarist is a musician, it is not true to say that all guitarists are musicians."

While this statement might in fact be true, it does not show the meaning of generalization - as is intended, so I assume it should actually read:

"Although it's true to say that a guitarist is a musician, it is not true to say that all musicians are guitarists."

(change positions of musicians and guitarists)
