Throw this trash into the fire.

I can't believe that, after more than 20 years of http protocol, they
are still advocating paper books.

A hyper-text physics "virtual" book, containing vivid images, graphics,
and multimedia content that no paper-bound book could ever muster, is
the only way to present science -- and it would be free (no $$$) to boot.

C'mon people.  Get your heads out of your asses.  Let get with the modern
times.  Let's realize the true potential of the Internet.

We have MathML.  We have HTML5.  Yet we still insist on paper-bound textbooks
and their antiquated capabilities.
