TARANTULA KEEPERS' GUIDE, THIRD EDITION

Page limitations restricted the size of the Index of the published version of The Tarantula Keeper's Guide, Third Edition to the very few, most important items. Below is a much more comprehensive index that served as the source for the published version.

In the world of the personal computer there exists an entity termed a hypertext link whereby the user can effortlessly skip to another part of the document being scrutinized, to another completely different document, even perhaps to a completely different computer on the other side of the planet, without leaving their chair. Alas, such is not yet possible with the printed book (although it will be here tomorrow!), and thus we have indexes.

"Why didn't we link all the cross references in this Index?" you ask. Creating this Index was an extremely complex and time consuming chore. And, we still had to distill this Index into a smaller version for submission to the publisher. We were working against a very restrictive deadline and simply didn't have the time when it was perhaps easiest. And frankly, when we were finished we were exhausted.

The job of linking all these cross references would involve:

1. Individually examining each entry in the list (the "source" of the link), then searching through the list for a potential "target" entry to link it to.


2. Uniquely labeling each such target entry.


3. Creating individual link references from the source to each target label.

Note as well that there could easily be several targets linked from the same source entry. (A purely hypothetical example might be "Color" linking to each of "Red," "Orange," "Yellow," "Green," "Blue," etc.) And, there could easily be several different sources pointing to the same target (e.g., all of "Predation," "Cannibalism," and "Feeding" could point to the single target "Eating"). The resulting anastomosis would make the Minotaur's Labyrinth look like a Sunday walk in the park!

While we could easily subvert our word processor (Corel's WordPerfect 12) to help automate the process with searches, programmed macros, and preformatted styles, each entry must still be examined and processed individually. AND THERE ARE NEARLY 10,000 ENTRIES!

This index is a nexus, an exhaustive listing of all the terms discussed in the book. Most of the secondary entries in the listing also appear as primary entries elsewhere which in their turn possess further secondary entries. Thus, in the spirit of a hypertext link, the reader can skip from one passage to another, from one subject to another, almost with the utility allowed in the electronic world.

TKG3 is not intended to be read straight through, cover to cover, but rather to be read in parts whenever the need or interest arose, and there are many cross references throughout the text to aid in that pursuit. This index is intended as a supplementary highway system for finding the information required in the course of that exploration. Use it often. Use it well.

While viewing this Index on the Internet with your web browser, merely press <Ctrl> p and follow the prompts. Did you know that some printer fonts are significantly narrower than others. Try Ariel Narrow, for instance. It is strongly recommended that you use a smaller than usual font and reduce the margins to only half what you normally use. Will your printer print on both sides of a sheet of paper? Even then, the whole document might fill 250+ pages!

Punch holes along the margin of the pages and store your copy of this index in an appropriate binder for future reference. Entries are arranged alphabetically. Use the printed Index the same as you would use the index in any other book.

If you wish, download this page to a folder on your computer's hard drive. Usually, this merely involves right-clicking anywhere on this page, selecting something like "Save as..." and following the prompts. It is strongly recommended that you do this if at all possible. This will allow you to use this Index whether you have an Internet connection or not.

Whether you are viewing this page on the Internet or on your hard drive, you can easily find terms you are looking for by merely pressing <Ctrl> f. Then, type the first three or four letters of the term you're seeking into the resulting search box. You may have to step through the various occurrences of your character string to find what you're looking for. Adding one or more letters to your search string can eliminate many unwanted hits. Obviously, using a little strategy can be a big time saver.

Note that web browsers and computer operating systems vary. If these commands and suggestions fail on your machine you will have to either seek guidance from your local computer guru, or consult Help functions and Operator's Manuals. The important messages are that these functions are almost surely present, and they can be immense time savers. You just need to learn how to use them.
