Your browser's print menu should pop up automatically, allowing you to print a "clean" copy of the entry. You may print the exact page you are viewing, the entire chapter you are viewing, or a range of pages within the chapter. You may also select a complete MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, APA, or Harvard citation of the entry to appear at the bottom of the printed page.
  4. Email: As an authenticated ABC-CLIO eBook Collection user, you have the option of emailing yourself full text content by clicking on the email link that appears at the top right of the screen when you have accessed a piece of content. Content is limited to one piece of content (chapter or entry) and will be sent as a plain text email.

  7. Font Size: You may adjust the font size of the text in the reading pane to fit your personal preferences.
  8. The Reading Pane: Chapters or entries are shown in their entirety within the reading pane. Within the reading pane, you may navigate using the scroll bar 8.. Use the left or right arrows 9 to move to the next chapter or section. Page breaks from the print version of the book appear as light gray dotted lines in the Reading Pane.
