ENTS:

Several persons have encountered difficulty in trying to read the
file CIVILIZATION AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT because they were not
familiar with pdf documents. For the benefit of others who may be in
the same situation, I am quoting a summary statement about pdf's
below.


What is a PDF file?
A Portable Document Format file is a self-contained cross-platform
document. In plain language, it is a file that will look the same on
the screen and in print, regardless of what kind of computer or
printer someone is using and regardless of what software package was
originally used to create it.

Although they contain the complete formatting of the original
document, including fonts and images, PDF files are highly
compressed, allowing complex information to be downloaded efficiently.

What do you need to view and print PDF files?
Virtually anyone - including Windows, DOS, Macintosh and UNIX system
users - can view and print a PDF file using the free Acrobat Reader,
which can be installed and configured to work seamlessly within your
Internet browser.
