The principal changes to the second edition occur in sections 4.5 (which has been completely re-done) and 6.2 (which has been brought up to date). I want to thank particularly Stan Payne for his help in reviewing the appropriate literature for inclusion in 6.2.
In addition, a new chapter, chapter 8, on blocking sets, has been added. Blocking sets have numerous applications in game theory and in testing of statistical designs. We also describe some very recent applications to cryptography.
I wish to thank the University of Manitoba at this time for its support in the production of this new edition.
