I missed that the first time around. It's very thorough. Has a lot of pictures, charts etc. that help to illustrate the book.
The lecture is a good supplement to the book. i'd advise downloading the PDF of rthe lecture slides first and then you can start the audio and scroll along thru the slides following the talk point by point.

thanks for the pointer to this, jal!
