The contents includes:
549 Wikipedia articles on places, including countries and capital cities
599 Wikipedia articles on plants and animals (including crops, and dinosaurs!)
457 Wikipedia articles on science including the Weather and Space
405 Wikipedia articles on general knowledge: including many "featured" articles
An alphabetical index of all articles on the CD
This site contains 2011 articles, more than 8000 images
and over 3.5 million words (equivalent to a 4,000 page book
in text alone).
You can use the topic indexes to find your way around but the best way
is perhaps to pick and article and follow the links to other topics
embedded in the text: for example, good starting places are
Africa,
Insect,
The Solar System,
Tsunami or
Apple.
