The Web version of Dr Freeman's book is only available in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format), readable with Adobe Reader version 6 and above. The other format of the book, Microsoft Word, produces files too large to use on the Web. To support at least Adobe Reader version 6, your operating system must be Windows version 98SE and above, or MacOS version 10.2.2 and above. You can obtain a copy of the book in Microsoft Word format, in CD ROM form, by writing to the NBIF requesting a copy and enclosing $10 to cover the cost of the disc and postage.

If you do not have a PDF reader, click here to download the free Adobe Reader®, version 6 or above.

Then you can refer to the hard copies of these files to prevent frequent clicking of the AUTHOR INDEX and SUBJECT INDEX hyperlinks as you explore the book further. Using the hard copy of these pages you can also find the chapter (or chapters) containing the references you wish to consult, and open the corresponding file(s). You may want to print the relevant material if your screen inhibits easy reading of PDF files.

Hyperlinks in the book PDF files are indicated by navy blue coloured text. When the mouse pointer is positioned over a hyperlink, the mouse pointer changes shape. The shape change is from the Hand Tool mouse pointer to the Link Select mouse pointer.  You may want to navigate between separate PDF files (all the chapters and most of the other sections of the book are in separate PDF files), or to navigate back to this Web Version page after viewing a PDF file. To achieve this navigation, use the browser back button and/or the back button's drop down navigation history list.
