How to use the PDF files



* If you are downloading the Zipfile from the internet, please unpack the file after the download is complete.


* Be sure to remove the complete folder entitled mpw_course_1-7_2012 including the seven PDF files from your 
download section and save it to your Hard disk drive, e.g. your C:// drive, as the links will not work as long 
as the files are in a temporary section.


* Open your PDF Reader, if you have none, you can download a free and reliable Reader at 
http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/


* Via your Reader open the PDF file of the e-book you wish to start with.


* If you have the files on a USB stick and you find the links between the PDF files or Weblinks do not work, 
please save the files to your Hard disk drive if you wish to use the files interactively.


* You will find that any web references have been linked to the respective site. All links were checked for validity 
before release, however we do not guarantee that they are still valid, as some web locations may change. 
In this case, an alternative source can usually be found within a simple internet query.


* These are interactive PDF files. 
Throughout the course you may find cross references to other chapters or courses, as well as course-relevant 
terms. These are linked directly to the Glossary, e.g. "peace", "health", etc., and quickly guide you to our 
definition of the respective term.
