Hi Spence

Rochford is a bit strange, but he has access to that class which will be
the manpower we need to finish off - I hope!

Lets try to get that guy involved - I think we should push him into a
chemistry chapter - I can't remember who has which chapter assigned to them
but I will ask Sarah to get hold of Brett Cocks and get a draft of his 
chapter
in the next week. I know we need maths but when Lara's group delivers and
Brett chem will be nearly done. I think a finished book helps with further
recruiting more than an extra maths piece - but we will need more maths 
people.

I will definitely help edit - I have ordered my laptop - and once it 
arrives I
will definitely be able to spend a few extra hours every week on the book.
I am quite happy to come in over the weekend this weekend - next weekend it
should have arrived.

This is awesome! Sarah was going to start discussing a distribution plan
tomorrow - very high level - and we were discussing printing and then today
we here from this other guy!!!

Also Sam should try to get something out of the guy that contacted him.

We are gonna change the world ;)
