World Civilization to 1500

Dr. Burgess

In order to view these PowerPoint presentations, you may need to download PowerPoint Viewer. This seems to work best with Microsoft Explorer or NeoPlanet. Please let me know via e-mail if you need assistance.

In order to save band-width (and to keep the SYS.ADMIN from beating me to death with a two-by-four), these PowerPoint presentations do not contain the various graphic which you saw during the actual lectures. Besides that would be a violation of copy-right law. 8-)

If you wish to save these lectures to disk, open the presentation in Internet Explorer, by clicking on the link for the lecture which you wish to view. When the presentation has loaded, go to FILE and open the drop-down menu. Choose SAVE AS... When the "save as" dialogue box opens, go to SAVE AS TYPE:, and open that drop-down menu. Choose OUTLINE/.rtf, then save to disk. To view the outline in text form, open in MS Word.

If you would rather have me explain it to you, CLICK HERE, and you get to see a little movie. It helps if you have RealPlayer. They have a free-ware version, but you may have to look carefully, since they want to sell you a tricked-up version.
