My reasoning is that I think the Walter and Miller translation is the
best, it has great footnotes, and that for those few students who
want to do their research paper on the novel, they would have access
to the entire text, in case they need it for their paper (some may
actually want to tackle the differences - and what has not changed -
in the science presented).

TTFN,
David
