Description from the packaging.
Discoveries that changed our world...
Who discovered Pluto? How was polio cured? What brave- or reckless- soul back in 1783 made the world's first hot-air balloon flight? What was behind the invention of the wheelbarrow? The X-ray? The cannon? The fork?
Science Adventure provides you with much more than just answers to these and hundreds of other questions about science. It's a medium where words and pictures and sounds combine to let you interact with knowledge in a whole new way.
The magic of interactive technology.
Each illustrated story of humankind's landmark discoveries, experiments and inventions- written by world-renowned science author Isaac Asimov- is "linked" to other stories and images. Through Knowledge Adventure's revolutionary compression technology, hundreds of high-resolution, 256-color Super-VGA quality images- quantities that would normally require a CD-ROM to hold them all- fit in just 7 megabytes of your hard drive, ready to discover at the click of the mouse. Many are enhanced with full digitized sound that bring the image alive.
This combination of image display and linking, unique to Knowledge Adventure Interactive Books, makes learning as much fun as it is informative. It especially invites children to follow their inquisitive impulses, allowing them to journey through knowledge in their own style, at their own pace.
Learning by wandering and wondering.
So sit down and take a personalized voyage through the worlds of chemistry and physics, biology and astronomy, ecology and technology, geography and math.
Move the pointer to 1523 and learn about the first circumnavigation of the Earth, or maybe to 500,000 BC, when man first tamed fire. Move to the globe and click on Mars to view actual radio-transmitted photos of the red planet. Zoom in on the electron microscope images of cell division. Open up the "E" drawer in the card catalog and read up on Einstein.
The thrill of discovery.
As you travel your own path through Science Adventure, you learn not only about great scientific moments themselves but about other world events occurring at the time. You learn about important personal relationships in scientists' lives. You learn how science influenced the world and how the world responded. You sense the heady thrill of scientific breakthrough, just like the great thinkers and explorers and inventors did.
And there's one more lesson that kids of all ages will learn, without trying, as they use Science Adventure: Knowledge is an adventure, the most exciting journey of all.
