Review Oz The Magical Adventure / Avanquest Software:Baum's original tale of the Wizard of Oz is adapted to create the story of Oz. The story is made up of 18 beautifully illustrated pages of a book, each being depicted on the screen with the words, and the animated characters coming to life as the story, is told. With the aid of this storybook options can be set to either have the tale read to the child, or for the child to read themselves with the text being highlighted along the way. As the story is completed on each page the characters come to life and act out a short scene before a new page is opened. The storybook has the facility to be fully customised to your child's ability. Early readers can have just a few words to each page, and this can be increased as their reading capacity grows. With clear text, and bold, bright animation the child's interest is captured making reading an enjoyable, fun pastime. A comprehensive glossary allows new words to be investigated and knowledge to be expanded, and observational skills are also developed by working through the screens. With the capacity to develop as reading skills grow, and the friendly characters you will meet along the way, this truly is a magical way to learn! -Mandy Wood.

Review Mosby's Medical Encyclopedia / Softkey:Mosby's Medical Encyclopedia on CD-ROM has made it even easier to look up your health problems, containing just about all there is to know in the field of contemporary medical expertise. Mosby's is one of the biggest names in American Medical Reference. For 75 years flu victims in Fresno, syphilitics in Seattle, plague carriers in Peoria and hypochondriacs in Hackensack have been checking its authoritative pages for the right terms, drugs and treatments to go with their condition. The format is admirably clear. A column on the left of the screen indicates the various available sources on-disc. You can click on each to access the subsection you want. Most useful is maybe the encyclopedia, which gives plain, lucid, informative definitions of some 20,000 medically related terms. Below the encyclopedia is a very handy drug guide, affording the scientific background and uses of multifarious pills, medicines and remedies, from Ibuprofen to Intaferon, Temazepam to Tixylix (one problem here for British users is the American bias: occasionally drugs will be listed under their US trade name, which differs from the UK version). Equally interesting is the "human atlas", which diagrammatically maps nervous, lymphatic, musculatory and digestive systems, among others; the on-disc Internet guide, which links you to pertinent Web sites and apposite net-addresses, is pretty cool too. In fact there's so much information here it might prove slightly overwhelming for the layman, and in some ways the CD-ROM is aimed as much at professional users as the needy family or inquisitive individual. [+]But for those willing to swallow the odd technical term it's still pretty hard to think of a better single-disc medical dictionary on the CD ROM market. -Sean Thomas.

Review Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 2002 / Microsoft:Encarta Encyclopaedia Deluxe is the new edition of Microsoft's bestselling reference tool, this edition bringing new features and loads of new content and add-ons, such as virtual tours. The interface itself is quite easy to get to grips with, although stylistically just a little bit boring. It is clean and uncluttered however, and because of this it moves quickly from screen to screen. The search is very good, and offers the functionality surfers are used to on the best search engines, such as word substitutions in case of misspelling and lists of similar entries, as well as loads of links to editorially screened non-Microsoft quality content sites, on specific topics. The Advanced Search functions as a filter, and lets the user search by type of entry, for example, Virtual Tour, animations, or charts and graphs, based on the subject/topic search terms entered in the left-hand bar. Those familiar with the Windows operating system will find navigating this software very easy. At the top is the usual toolbar, with File, Edit, View, Features, Tools and so on. The easy reach of these menus make moving around the software simple and stress-free, as well as quick to learn. The content is good, although encyclopaedias such as Britannica 2002 (DVD edition, Macintosh DVD) offer more authoritative content and more comprehensive coverage, but titles such as that haven't yet managed to offer it up in quite the excellent way that Encarta does. It functions more like a good documentary or comprehensive coffee-table book, which makes using it intriguing and pleasurable. [+]The multimedia sections are fun, especially the 3-D virtual tours, in which the user can walk around ancient locations in the first-person, gaming style-Azuchi, castle of the ancient Japanese warlord, and the Colosseum are two of the seven available. There's a lot to enjoy about Encarta Encyclopaedia Deluxe, in terms of excellent usability, content and there's clearly been a great deal of thought given to how users actually want to access and use data, and it is probably the best designed package of its kind on the market. -Alison Jardine.
