Author's Note: This text will be under continuous development as part of the Institute for Learning Technologies' Digital Text Project. The master version is formatted to facilitate reflective reading online and requires Netscape 2.0 or higher and a display of 1024x768 pixels or better to view properly. One of the assumptions informing this project is that for the foreseeable future authors will be unable to predict whether readers are using online or hard copy versions of their work, with the consequence that page references are obsolete and a device-independent form of citation is a serious intellectual need. This essay uses numbered paragraphs to reference locations within the text. Anyone who wishes to cite passages within it should use those, which will work regardless of which device, format, or font a reader is using. The essay also uses bracketed note numbers that refer to the Endnotes.
