    • Legal Considerations
      • Elsevier is committed to making our eBooks accessible and complying with applicable laws. Given our vast library of titles, there are some cases where making an eBook fully accessible presents unique challenges, and including full features could transform its nature to no longer serve its primary purpose or result in a disproportionate burden for the publisher. As a result this eBook may have limited accessibility. See more at https://www.elsevier.com/en-gb/about/accessibility.
      • Please refer to our disproportionate burden or fundamental modification statements.
    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • Page breaks included from the original print source
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
