General suggestion: "list" and "sequence"

I am finding a number of places in the text where the distinction here is blurred and, in particular, "list" is used where "sequence" should be used.
A good example is on p. 69:
"The apply function is extremely handy, for it’s quite common to end up with a list of things that need to be used as arguments to a function. This is especially true because a lot of Clojure programs use the core sequence data-structures to do their job."
Here the blurring is particularly clear, because the first sentence uses "list" (I believe mistakenly), and the second flips to "sequence." I assume that apply works on sequences, but it's not at all clear from the text.
I strongly urge you to get someone to read over the entire text (probably with the help of a search function) to find all the uses of "list" and make sure that they are correct, before the manuscript is submitted for publication.
