Is this correct??

I always thought that only the density changes until a very high altitude.


Huh. I have read both the most recent edition, and the previous edition, of
that book from cover to cover and I never noticed that passage. I must've
been distracted or something.



Karl mistakenly omitted to leave in a hyphen. It's thus Page 18, not
21, but 2-1 is more precise
