Steady progress!

This month started with the end of editing. We have been working through the design of the chapters themselves. While my designer (Daniela Palomas) has been putting the chapters together, I have been cleaning up all figures to make them consistent and hopefully accessible.

As I have been getting chapter layouts, I have been adding some notes, and making adjustments to get the best out of space.

One interesting idea by Daniela is use different colors for the chapter titles. What do you think?

Timeline

If our progress continues at this rate, the book will be ready for final edits by the end of the month. Then discussions with the printer will start. So far, there is nothing unexpected.

In the meantime, I have a few more articles, freely available, if you’re interested.
