Plagiarism and Oracle RAC book update

It has been found that Guenadi Jilevski has plagiarized dozens of others work on Oracle blogs and websites as shown below:

From the September 2009 archive, virtually all of the content has been pasted-in from other sources and represented as his own work.

Needless to say, I have ended all professional dealings with Jilevski. As for my new Oracle 11g RAC book with PACKT Press, my chapters are listed below:

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Architecture
Chapter 5: Managing and Troubleshooting Oracle 11g Clusterware
Chapter 14: Maximum Availability
Appendices
