 You can also turn any collection into an observable using the overloads of `Observable.from` that take arrays and iterables. This will result in every item in the collection being emitted and then a final onCompleted event.

 ### Marble diagrams
 
-This is an appropriate time to introduce to concept of marble diagrams. It is a popular way of explaining the operators in Rx, because of their intuitive and graphical nature. They are present a lot in the documentation of RxJava and it only makes sense that we take advantage of their explanatory nature. The format is mostly self-explanatory: time flows left to right, shapes represent values, a slash is a onCompletion, an X is an error. The operator is applied to the top sequence and the result is the sequence below.

 ### Structure
 
-The content of this book is meant to be read from start to finish. It begins with the basics and every subsequent chapter introduces increasingly advanced features and concepts. Sections of the book are intended to be self-containing and to-the-point, so that the book can be referred back to by non-beginners.

 The examples used in the book are also [available in compilable java files](/tests/java/itrx) in two formats:
