Graham,
a registration is needed to access the full text. If you don't have a
Facebook account you can access the document by registering with Academia.
As far as I've understood, www.academia.edu is NOT a website belonging to an
higher education institution whatsoever. Anyway, lot of people doing
research and librarians also, are registered.
