Finalist - Encarta 97 World Atlas
CD-ROM encyclopedias aren't a new concept, but Microsoft's Encarta 97 World Atlas takes it off the screen and puts it online. Microsofts heavy investment in mapping technology is very apparent in this latest edition, which allows you to zoom in and out effortlessly. The rich assortment of facts, figures and photographs makes it a welcome edition to the home library. |
