They have. For example, chapter 3. Exploratory Data Analysis, contains
"3.1 The Sinking of the Titanic" and "3.2 Beer Ratings", as well as "3.4 Unicode Data".

Sorry -- PDF pages != print pages; 2nd edition on publishers wedsite
says "240 pages" for the print edition.
In my initial post I wrote:
"I cannot see whether the chapter texts changed or have been expanded."
and what I meat was the texts of the previously_existing_ chapters;
whether they have been enhanced, corrected, rewritten, whatever, or
just copied. I cannot see that.
