• There are two types of page in this hypertext supplement
  • Outline pages: these roughly parallel the classroom lectures. Please note that because hypertext pages emphasize the visual aspects of history, some lectures correspond to more than one web page.
  • Graphic pages: these show and describe photographs, maps or illustrations
• Use the outline pages to review or prepare for lectures. These pages include hypertext link to related graphics pages.
• The sidebar can be used to display either a table of contents or an index: use the box in the bottom lefthand corner to select the preferred mode. Use the table of contents to review outline and graphic pages in the same order as the classroom presentation. Use the index for thematic review.
• Major vocabulary items are listed at the bottom of the outline pages. Click on these to hear the word pronounced.
• Major vocabulary items are also presented in Japanese, but you will need a Japanese capable browser to view these pages.

Technical requirements:

• These pages will look best on machines with 16-bit video (thousands of colors). If the images look patchy or grainy, consider upgrading your video.
• These pages use JavaScript and frames, so please use a browser that supports these features such as Netscape 3.0 (or later). In keeping with Microsoft's plans for global domination, Internet Explorer does not use Java, but employs its own weird and propriety scripting language. IE will not display some pages properly.
• These pages also use Orient, a special font that I developed to display correctly the romanized versions of Japanese and Korean. In order to view these pages with the proper diacritical marks:
  • Please download and install the Mac or Windows 95 version of Orient.
  • The Mac verson is a self-extracting archive. To install the Mac version, drag the font to the Fonts folder in your System folder and restart your browser.
  • The Windows version is in ZIP format. To install the Windows version, go to Fonts under Control Panels and then use the Install New Fonts function under the File menu.
• If you do not wish to download Orient, please examine the character substitution table below. Note that the umlaut becomes the Japanese macron and the circumflex becomes the Korean breve.
• If you are using Internet Explorer 3.0 (or later) or Netscape 4.0 (or later), the browser will automically use Orient font where required. If you are using another browser please set the preferred display font to Orient.
