This book is available under a Creative Commons License.  If you click on the link you will see the full details of what that means — in short you are free to download it from this site, send it to a friend, print out copies, reproduce excerpts and so on, provided you don’t do so for a commercial purpose (e.g. go into business selling a competing edition to Yale U.P.’s)  and you attribute the book to me.  Why am I doing this and why is Yale agreeing?  Because they are a very good and innovative publisher — potential authors take note — and because we both think that making the book available like this is

1.) in tune with the ideas inside the book and the responsibility of scholars to make their work as freely available as possible and

2.)  a method that will actually end up selling more books.  Click here if you want to read why.
