""This is an absolutely wonderful disk.""

"DK does an impressive job of integrating 1.6 million words of text with recording, animations and video clips to give a panorama of human highlights that's a smooth delight to surf through...Like other DK Multimedia disks, this one loads flawlessly and is a snap to use. As a quick reference to hit the high-and-low points of history, it's hard to beat."
