The second edition contains a total of six new chapters and five new appendixes. The new chapters are primarily devoted to deriving the component form of the most general supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to supergravity. The resulting Lagrangian, presented in Chapter XXV and Appendix G, is the starting point for all phenomenological studies of supergravity theories. Modelbuilders can use the Lagrangian without having to read the rest of the book.
