Your interests, however, may differ from mine. You may, for instance, wish to look at all the pictures pertaining to a particular topic. Or you may want to go directly to a picture you liked. To make your job easier, I have defined 200 keywords and associated them with the pages and pictures of my presentation. To look for a particular topic or keyword, click on the ? button and choose "List keywords". This takes you to a menu of topics. Click on the general topic you are interested in. A window appears with a list of keywords arranged alphabetically. You can scroll the list up or down. Click on a keyword, and the computer displays a page of a book that has to do with that topic. To see another page, possibly in another book, click on the
button or the "tab" key. And so on. The resulting pictures, however, are arranged in no particular order. If you want a more structured presentation, use the thematic menu.

You may also wish to make your own book and tell to others your own visit to Africa. With "Welcome to Africa", this is very easy. Go to the desired page. Then press <Control-Insert>, that is, press the Control or Ctrl key at the same time as you press the Insert key on your keyboard. This puts the displayed picture into the Windows clipboard. You can then do one of two things. You can go to another Windows application and paste the picture in it. Or you can paste it directly into your own "Welcome to Africa" book.
To do so, open your own book by double-clicking on the "Your own Africa book" icon, go to the page where you want the picture to appear, and press <Shift-Insert>. That's all! You can then type your own captions, paste clipart or paint objects you created with other Windows applications, create more pages, and make your book look as nice as you want. Have fun!
You can explore "Welcome to Africa" in two ways: by theme or by keyword. I have organized all the pictures according to broadly defined themes. To visit any of these themes, click on the
button to go to the thematic menu. Clicking on any of the themes on the menu takes you to the first page of a book. You can then read the book at your leisure by clicking on the $ and & buttons, just like you have been doing to get to this screen. The choice and organization of themes reflect my particular interests and the purpose for which this presentation was initially developed -- to teach an undergraduate course on economic development in Africa at Stanford.

To make your job easier, I have defined some 200 keywords and associated them with the pages and pictures of my presentation. To look for a particular topic or keyword, click on the "?" button, look at the keyword list, and click on the keyword you are interested in. To go to the next image, click on the button...

Africa has long been misunderstood. The image of Africa most of us have is a conflicting one where elephants and rythmic drums coexist with famines and warfare. In the news, Africa is often portrayed as the basket case of the world, as a place of utter misery and desolation.
True, Africa has its share of problems. Big ones. But as you will discover, it is also an awesomely beautiful and friendly place, with a diverse and rich culture, and an amazingly dynamic and inventive people. Give Africa another glance, and you will give it another chance! chance!nd you will give it another chance!you will give it another chance!nce, and you will give it another chance!

"Welcome to Africa" invites you to give Africa another glance. With the help of over 450 pictures, it takes you on virtual visit to the continent. Most of the pictures were taken by myself during years of work and travel in Africa. Some were taken by Stanford students and faculty, a few by a friend of mine. Together they capture a wide range of African experiences, from the bizarre and unusual to the realities of everyday life. At the end of your journey, you will have a better sense of what Africa is about. And you'll probably want to go there and see for yourself.

You may also search for a word or phrase that is not in the list I have prepared. Click on ?, choose "Type myself" and enter your own word of phrase. The computer will then look in all the fields and captions of all books and find all the occurences of the word or phrase you have entered. To do so, however, the computer has to read all the books. As a result, the search may take time. Searching by keyword is much faster.

button, then click on the "Play the African farmer game".
The game is easy to play, but surviving is not as straightforward as you might think. You are subject to large weather and price shocks. Wrong decisions make your family and yourself vulnerable to malnutrition and disease. Find out whether you could make it on your own on the African plain, or whether you'd definitely need coaching from African elders. And do not forget to have fun...........
