In the technology age this is the way to go. The textbook, Washington: A State of Contrasts, 1st Edition is available on CD-ROM. You will not only find the entire textbook in pdf format but nearly 50 Quicktime historic movies, sound clips, or slide shows. These provide an incredible array of resources at your fingertips. These bonus historic clips include:
Most text in the textbook has been marked so that the user may simply click on a paragraph or column in order to zoom in and be able to read. Once inside an article, clicking will take you to the next portion of text and a flashing arrow will indicate where to begin reading again. There are hundreds of key words highlighted in red linked to specific internet resources regarding that specific topic. Words highlighted in blue are linked to Quicktime movie clips.
Pictures and graphics have links to movies, sound clips, or slide shows throughout the textbook on CD-ROM. As the mouse passes over those linked items the cursor will change either to a finger (internet link) or movie film icon (movie, sound, or slide show). These three links will provide additional materials and footage to the user about a specific subject as well.
The 'Find Tool', displayed as a pair of binoculars in the toolbar, may be used to find any word or phrase within the book. After searching for a word, command-G will search for the next occurrence of the same word. As a last resort, remember that online help for the Acrobat Reader is always available by pressing Command-? or simply open the Help.pdf files in the same folder as your copy of the reader.
