Yes it does but all was not clear after I finished the first part 
(chapter 22 in my 3rd edition). Just read chapter 23 and things are 
clearer now. Luckily the start of chapter 24 mentions that it's no big 
deal if I didn't understand everything because they will dive deeper 
into it explaining more.

Thanks for the links. Will read them when I have some spare cycles.
