At present, the book is only available in English.

This has been a long time coming and there have been many experts involved.

Please do let us know what you think of it and please share this link widely with your networks. Sharing the link to the pdf rather than downloading the book and then sharing the book is best for us as we can then keep track of the numbers of of downloads and the countries where it is being downloaded.
