About the Links

All blue text in this book is hot, meaning you can click (or tap) it, just like a link on the Web. Some links, like the Ebook Extras link just above, take you to a Web page. Other links go to a different part of the book.

If you click a link that takes you to a different part of the book, you can return quickly to your previous spot if your ebook reader offers a “back” feature.

For example, if you use iBooks to read the EPUB version of this book, click the “Back to” link at the lower left. Or, if you use Preview on the Mac to read the PDF version, choose Go > Back or press Command-[.
