LAST CHANCE TO SEE 2-DISC SET
This special two-CD-ROM edition brings together the full richness of the project in one collectible package — ideal for readers, students, educators and anyone interested in natural history, travel narrative and documentary audio. The set combines the entire written work with extensive audio material and a vast photographic archive recorded and selected by the authors.
What’s included
The complete text of the book
This edition contains the unabridged, searchable text of the book in full. Every chapter, footnote and appendix is present, allowing you to read on-screen, copy short excerpts for study, or print individual pages where permitted. The text is indexed for easy navigation by chapter and by subject, and includes contextual editorial notes and a contents view that lets you jump straight to any section.
400 minutes of audio
The set includes approximately 400 minutes (about 6 hours and 40 minutes) of professionally recorded audio. This material comprises narrated readings of the book’s chapters, extended interviews with the authors and contributors, on-location ambient recordings, and documentary-style segments that bring the journeys to life. Tracks are organized by chapter and topic, with clear track markers so you can listen to individual segments or play continuously. Audio is encoded at high bitrates to preserve clarity and dynamic range for spoken word and field recordings.
Over 800 high-quality, full-screen color photographs taken by the authors
The photographic component contains more than 800 high-resolution, full-screen images captured by the authors during their travels. Images include portraits of people, landscapes, wildlife, close-ups of species, and behind-the-scenes shots from the expeditions. Each photo is accompanied by descriptive captions, dates and location metadata where available.
An hour of extracts taken from the BBC radio series based on the book
This CD-ROM includes approximately 60 minutes of selected excerpts from the original BBC radio broadcasts inspired by the book. These remastered extracts feature key episodes, highlights of interviews and selected documentary segments. Each extract is introduced with contextual notes that identify the original broadcast date, contributors and any editorial changes made for this release.
Supplemental audio recorded especially for this two-CD-ROM set

Students and educators seeking primary-source material and multimedia assets for study.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
