Even though it is only a portion of the book, I'd very very concerned about the breach of Copyright by putting something like that up on the Internet.

:shock:

It's 41 pages including front and back cover of a 120 page book - fair bit missing

I'm not saying the whole book is on line - although as the link is to a result of a search it is possible that there is more there - but I'm just pointing out that it is a breach of the Copyright act if it has been uploaded like that without the express permission of the author or the publisher.

Under the Australian Copyright Act, up to 10% (in this case 12 pages) can be reproduced for private research, but not for publication - ie, making public.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,
Watto.

They seem to pernission to do so .
I see it as an ad , and the publisher would have seeked permission
However i'm sure there are many cases on the internet where this has not happened.

This is what is written next to the book in the link, so they have done the right thing as far as I can see.
