The Press is a web-integrated endeavor embracing the Internet as a primary distribution network and [[Open Source]] applications as the most effective tools for creative collaboration. Consequently, while the Press makes provision for the physical production and distribution of discrete media products in various [[text]], audio, or video formats for purchase through resellers, these resources may be found freely available in the [[Nordan Corpora]] where readers can be referred directly to related material on the [[World Wide Web]] that is a material extension of our shared endowment of [[cosmic]] [[mind]].

Associates of the Press possess an extensive range of [[experience]] with the marketing [[strategies]] of traditional commercial and [[academic]] publishers that rely so heavily on a [[culture]] of 'push' to force sales of unwanted product that too often is simply used for decoration and then returned. We find more sustainable the culture of 'pull' using the Internet as a primary distribution network and electronic communications as the best medium for circulating material to stimulate sales in the appropriate [[audience]]. In this way, the unique [[gravity]] of each work will define the extent to which we employ a network of publicists and sales professionals in an efficient and rewarding manner.
