There are no chapters in this book but there are a very large number of headed paragraphs so I considered using "bookmarks" to make it easier to select and go to a particular paragraph of your choice but, when I realised the amount of bookmarks necessary, I "chickened out!". Instead, I have split the contents, listed below, into four sections with each section containing roughly a quarter of the book, from there, the "Find" button (or whatever you have) will take you to the paragraph in which you are interested.
