The Hiroshima Project:Guided Tour
information
The Guided Tour is a trail through the World Wide Web. It leads you
to all the online information related to the atomic bomb which is available
on the World Wide Web.
It juxtaposes geographical and cultural opposites and
crosses boundaries between perpetrators and victims, by leading you to
various documents in Japan and the U.S.A.
It investigates the events which have lead to the use
of the atomic bomb, and makes the
far-reaching and complex long-term effects visible.
The Guided Tour consists of 5 parts:
- Today will lead you to locations in Japan and the U.S.A.
where opposing opinions are expressed concerning the 50th commemoration
of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
- Bomb will lead you to locations world wide which provide
information on nuclear weapons (high energy weapons) and nuclear
physics (high energy physics).
- Events will lead you to locations world wide
which give information on the events which lead to the first use of an
atomic bomb in world history.
- Witness will lead you to the few documents available on the
World Wide Web in which survivors
of the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima tell their stories.
- Effects will lead you to locations world wide which give
information on the far-reaching and widespread effects that the invention
of the atomic bomb has brought to our world, such as the nuclear arms race
and the nuclear waste problem.
Contrary to the other parts of the Hiroshima Project, the Guided
Tour does not add information to the World Wide Web.
Instead, it has structured all available information which was up till
then only accessible in a more or less random way (even when using
'search engines'); it makes this structured information available
to you in the form of an interactive documentary online.
However, large parts of important information are not yet available on the
World Wide Web, and the interested reader is advised to turn to the
well-known medium of books. For this purpose, bibliographies are included in the Hiroshima Project.
Because the Guided Tour leads your to documents which are outside the
Hiroshima Project, this means that, once you have downloaded such a document,
you have to use the
button of your WWW-browser in order to get back to the Hiroshima Project.
