Thanks for the info.
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.
Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.

It looks like a great anthology, sort of like the one by Bhikkhu Bodhi. But I noticed that is just a preview as it jumps from pg. 15 to pg. 87 and then 89 to 305, so you cannot get the whole book online just yet.

No, that's right. Google only provides a limited preview, as the book has just been published.
I have seen it in books stores, and on Amazon. It does indeed look like a good one.
