  2. Added opening quotes (“) to each paragraph in the block quotation on p. 53 consistent with the practice used elsewhere in this book.
  3. Changed gods to goods on p. 192.
  4. Changed coveying to conveying on p. 205.
  5. Parana is used more frequently than Paraná. Also depôt more frequently than depot. In both cases, neither form was changed to the other due to both being frequently used.
