Actually, you can save most pdf files if you have the latest Acrobat reader. It features a 'disk' button.

The full reference for "Emergence in psychology" can be found on the first page of the PDF article, and I reproduce it here in response to Ricardo's question:
Sawyer, R. K. (2002). Emergence in psychology: Lessons from the history of non-reductionist science. Human Development, 45, 2-28.
I highly recommend this journal for all psychologists interested in theoretical questions. Until a few months ago, it was edited by Barbara Rogoff of UC Santa Cruz, and as of November 2001 it is edited by Geoffrey Saxe of UC Berkeley.
As Mike points out, just about all of the articles posted on LCHC are in PDF. I don't know of any other way to post an image of a published article like "Emergence in psychology". As Bill Blanton confirms, the Adobe download is free if all you need to do is read PDF files.
Most PDF files cannot be saved on your own computer, but they can be printed on your local printer.

But now, maybe because Sawyer's article had been scanned, I could not save it on my rigid disck.
It is good for someone to have access to texts through LCHC site, even scanned. But scanned texts are very slow to download and read. And - at least for me - it is impossible to save them in personal archives.
