Notes:

From publisher's page which includes list of contributors but not full contents; they are available at Blackwell Online or with page numbers in PDF "preview". (Note for mods, to be deleted: type changed from ANTHOLOGY per Template:PublicationFields:PubType; however does this deserve Series: Star Trek Non-Fiction or is that just for books that aren't "** COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED **"?)
