Abstract

Review Global Explorer 1.0, a CD-ROM interactive atlas of the world. Global Explorer includes searchable references to more than 120.000 places and street maps of 100 cities throughout the world. The program also contains descriptions of 20.000 historical, cultural, geographical and social features and information on the geography, government, economy and population for each country of the world. The search process is described and the program evaluated. Although the user interface has some shortcomings and there are some errors in the database, Global Explorer is a unique and intersting way to explore the world and would be a beneficial additions to the map, public and school library
