designed to replace printed books. Rather, it is a free, browsable, nonproprietary, fully and deeply searchable version of the publication which we can inexpensively and quickly produce to make the material available worldwide.<p>For most effective printing, use the "printable PDF page" link available on each OpenBook page's tool block. The 300 x 150 dpi PDF linked to it is printable on your local printer.<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070104200220/http://www.nap.edu/info/site.html">More information on the Open Book is available.</a><p>  <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" valign="bottom"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#333333" align="center" colspan="3"> <a href="#top" class="bottomnav">[ Top of Page ]</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070104200220/http://www.nap.edu/" class="bottomnav">[ Home ]</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070104200220/http://www.nap.edu/contact.html" class="bottomnav">[ Contact Us ]</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070104200220/http://www.nap.edu/help.html" class="bottomnav">[ Help ] </a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070104200220/http://www.nationalacademies.org/" class="bottomnav">[ The National Academies Home ] </a></td> </tr> <tr>  <td align="center" bgcolor="#990000" height="15" colspan="3"> <div class="copyright"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070104200220/http://www.national-academies.org/legal/" class="copyright">Copyright © 2007.
