Note on Index Page Hyperlinks

This Index retains the “Print Book Page Numbers” as links to embedded targets within the content. Navigating from a “Page Number” link will take you to within three Mobipocket Reader “Page Forward” clicks of the original Index reference point.

This strategy retains the full value of the academic Index, and presents the relative positions and distribution of Index references within this book. The Index Page Numbers are hyperlink pointers and have no relationship to the Mobipocket Reader soft-generated page numbers.
