About the this electronic edition:
In order to reproduce exactly the look of the printed original and to ensure accurate printing, this electronic edition uses Adobe Acrobat®. Many recent browsers include Acrobat support as standard, and will load and display the pages automatically. If you do not already have the Acrobat Reader, it is available for free download here.

The print version of this publication contains 340 highly formatted pages, way too big to fit in one electronic file. Each chapter therefore comprises a separate Acrobat file. Other changes for this electronic edition include: footnotes at the end of each chapter, rather than at the end of the book; and the removal of a number of full-page photos, in order to reduce file sizes and thus loading times across the Internet.
