Compare the 10th Edition with 8th and 9th Editions

Chapter 7 from the 9th edition is now incorporated in Chapter 6 and Chapter 13 in the 10th edition
Chapters 14 and 15 from the 9th edition are now combined into a single chapter (Chapter 14) in the 10th edition
Chapter 20 from the 9th edition is now incorporated in Chapter 5 in the 10th edition
Chapters 18 and 19 from the 9th edition are listed as Appendixes A and B in the 10th edition

The theory, concepts, and examples presented in the 10th edition, while updated and enriched, are consistent with those in the previous editions.
