Section 5.2 says:

Consider a set of point Features within the Fiji archipelago,
straddling the antimeridian between 16 degrees S and 20 degrees S.
The southwest corner of the box containing these Features is at 20
degrees S and 177 degrees E, and the northwest corner is at 16
degrees S and 178 degrees W.

It should say:

Consider a set of point Features within the Fiji archipelago,
straddling the antimeridian between 16 degrees S and 20 degrees S.
The southwest corner of the box containing these Features is at 20
degrees S and 177 degrees E, and the northeast corner is at 16
degrees S and 178 degrees W.

Notes:

In the antimeridian-crossing example, the text says that the "northwest" corner is at 16 degrees S and 178 degrees W. It should say this is the "northeast" corner instead.
