Just a nit...  Why does the textbook need to be restricted to 1
semester?  I have seen several textbooks which, in the introduction,
map out various sizes (how many semesters) and levels (undergrad vs
grad) of courses by suggestions on what chapters to cover and what
chapters to skip.  I think that approach works well.
