You'll find a world of information in the new Jaguar Edition of the World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia. The World Book features thousands of QuickTime movies, sound clips, digital images and over 20,000 fact-packed articles.

Also, the new edition of World Book has been enhanced to take full advantage of Apple's new Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) operating system. From collaborative research enabled by Rendezvous technology to the amazing new 3-D globe and "waterstream" Home Screen, World Book presents an invitation to explore.
The journey begins here!
 

 


    Rendezvous Sticky Notes
Taking advantage of Rendezvous, Apple’s new automatic network technology, you can instantly and automatically share your “sticky note” bookmarks and research with others.
 

    Just Looking by Theme
Browse World Book’s rich media collection through dozens of “themes” such as Sports Heroes, Famous Women, European Art, Dinosaurs, Scientists and Inventors, and more.
 

    Speech Capabilities
World Book’s speech capabilities in the Jaguar Edition make it possible for you to navigate World Book using voice commands and have any article from World Book’s 22-Volume print edition read aloud to you.
 

    Enhanced Notepad
The World Book Notepad easy-to-use word processor has been greatly enhanced with new features including resize graphics, spellchecking-as-you-type, page breaks, margins, send as e-mail, and page numbering.
 

    Surf the Ages
The acclaimed World Book “Surf” feature has been expanded to include fictional Web sites as far back as 3500 B.C. New sites include the Academy of Plato, Vesuvius Blows Its Top, and The Royal Family of Pharaoh Akhenaten.
 
 
    3-D Interactive Globe
Using satellite photography, the new World Book globe gives you an extraordinary astronaut's-eye-view of Earth as it appears from outer space.
 

    Just Listening
This new feature gathers World Book’s music and sounds into themes from national anthems to bird calls. Media floating by on the Watersteam home screen change to reflect the selected sound theme.
 

    Spinning Dock Icon
World Book’s application icon in the dock will start spinning when article updates or new media are ready to be downloaded to keep your copy of World Book up to date.
 

    "Waterstream" Home Screen
Through the power of Mac OS X, the “water” on the new World Book Home Screen appears to move and media float by like leaves in a stream. Click on the screen and ripples go out like a stone dropped in a pond.
 

    World Book screen saver
A fully customizable screen saver sends photos and movies from World Book’s rich media collection floating and spinning across your screen when your Mac is idle for a while. Select one of 16 themes such as Stars of Stage & Screen, Animal Kingdom, Tour of Asia, European Paintings, and more.
