The book has incorporated literature input until January 2006. Thus the physical constants were based on the then latest CODATA recommendation, dating from 2002. However, a new CODATA recommendation appeared in 2006, with some significant changes with respect to the 2002 recommendation. The changes affect Table 7 (page xxv), Table 8 (page xxv), Table 9 (page xxvi) and Table 10 (page xxvii). The new constants are already incorporated in the Python module physcon.py, which is available from this website (opens a new window) and of course from the NIST website (opens a new window).
A revised version of Figures 8 - 10 can be downloaded here (pdf file) [sorry: not yet available!]
