In the fourth paragraph of 15.5.9 SETTING SCATTERING PROPERTIES, the book writes: with rho known, the desired coefficients are given by sigma_s =rho / sigma_t^-1 and sigma_s = (1-rho)/sigma_t^-1. I believe that the second one should be sigma_a based on the utility function defined below.

Thanks, though that one was already reported by Per Christensen and is in the online errata..
