After consulting with some colleagues, I've decided to try a couple of formatting tweaks for 'the MARK book'. Specifically, I've added 'bookmarks' to the PDF file(s) - both for individual chapters (easy), and for the entire book as a single file (less easy -- because of restarting page numbering within each chapter).

At any rate, I took some time and recompiled the book into single PDF file, complete with bookmarks. It took enough time an fooling that I've only done the 'portrait' orientation. Let me know what you think of the formatting additions. At the same time, there are a number of minor fixes and a few small additions to various chapters. You can get the book as a single PDF file here:

Again, let me know what you think.

Have now generated the 'bookmarked' PDF file in both portrait and rotated/landscape orientations. You can grab the portrait oriented version here

and the landscape oriented version here

Couple of comments:

1\ the PDF bookmarks make it *very* convenient to jump around what has become a very large book (950+ pages at present). I wasn't sold myself, originally, but now am -- try it. You might like it.

2\ although the original intent of the rotated/landscape oriented book is to make it easier (more practical) to print (this version is double-columned, and is ~50% the length of the portrait version), in fact, if you have a *big* monitor (say, at least 24 inches), you might find it very convenient to use this version, since you can get a lot of information on the screen (2 full pages of the book, in fact).

3\ I've tried to make the PDF file as 'backwards compatible' as possible. It will now support Acrobat Reader (or equivalent) at least as far back as the 7.0 standard. If you're using a reader *older than that* things might not work so well.

Just posted new compiles of the book in both formats. A bunch of minor formatting tweaks, and a few new bits and pieces mostly having to do with pesky things like unequal time intervals for sampling. Also, recompiled each individual chapter, so now the individual chapters, and fully collated book files are completely in sync.
