It seems like Springer maybe also provides the whole book for free to
"read online" for anybody here, though I'm not sure:
http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-0-387-85525-7#section=132527&page=1
FWIW, I think that SpringerLink is not open for "anybody". It's
subscription-based. Presumably, if, e.g., your university library subscribes, and you
connect from there, you can see/read what's provided. If you try it from off-campus,
unless you go through a university proxy server, you will have to log in to SpringerLink.
At least, that's my experience.
Speaking of *experience*, did you try the link I posted above? I'm
off campus using a random browser, and that link works fine for me,
showing my whole book evidently for free. If I were to login
through a campus proxy thing, then I get a different URL entirely, but
I also get extra privileges, e.g., the ability to download pdf's of
chapters.
I can see the first few pages of each chapter, but they made it
impossible to read any more than that. If I click "Download PDF", I get
a message: Access to this content is restricted to subscribers. Options
for obtaining access are below.
