Stanford University Press is a participant in Google's digitization initiative, Google Book Search, through which the full-text of each title has been indexed and can be searched and full pages viewed. The entire Stanford University Press catalog, both in print and out of print, will eventually be included, allowing searchable access to book descriptions with limited page views.

We encourage authors and customers to learn more about this exciting program on the Google website at http://books.google.com/intl/en/googleprint/about.html.

Stanford University Press respects the wishes of its authors and we ask any author wishing to have his or her material removed from display within Google Book Search to contact us at digitalpartners@www.sup.org. Please make sure to include within your message the names of all co-authors, title, and year of publication of the work, as well as the ISBN (where available).
