Other World Book 2003 Features:

Surf The Ages!

Another function of an encyclopedia is to stimulate curiosity and spark interest in learning. World Book's exclusive Surf the Ages feature fulfills this concept by providing simulated Web sites as they might have been if the World Wide Web had existed throughout history. From an exclusive interview with a survivor of the Mount Vesuvius eruption in A.D. 79 to a Plague Information Site in the 1300s, Surf the Ages takes you back in time to rediscover important historical events, people, and ideas. Based on historical facts and documentation, each Web entry journeys through the main events of Ancient Times, the Middle Ages, and Modern Times. And with the "View from Today" option, you can reveal what we now know or believe about a featured event or figure.

A World Book Exclusive!

Back In Time

With Internet access, travel back through 80 years of World Book articles, reading about events as they were described at the time. For example, study articles on WWII written in 1945.
