For more information on higher-kinded types, which aren't covered in the book, check out this paper:

http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~adriaan/files/higher.pdf (PDF)

Structural types are also not covered in the book. Here's an example demonstrating their use:

class File(name: String) {
  def getName(): String = name
  def open() { /*..*/ }
  def close() { println("close file") }
}
def test(f: { def getName(): String }) { println(f.getName) }

test(new File("test.txt"))
test(new java.io.File("test.txt"))
