Why choose this cd?

• It contains content relevant to the South African environment. Global coverage of topics from a South African perspective, packed with SA facts, SA case studies etc.
• Written by experts. The core panel of distinguished authors include leading SA academics, researchers, and specialist writers.

Learners at school, their parents, teachers and the life-long-learners amongst us will benefit from this resource, which has especially been developed for contemporary South Africa. It contains a lot of local content which is also linked with the SA education system.

The world is now changing so fast that knowledge doubles every few months. It is therefore sensible to buy a encyclopaedia on a cd-rom as this will allow you to receive the most recent information.

The SAE saves you expensive internet time while doing research and allows you to browse for the information you need at your own leisure. Parents of younger learners will also be relieved to know that they do not have to leave their children unattended on the internet as the children will be able to do their research independently within a safe environment.

The SAE offers a fast and user-friendly search facility which allows you to zoom in on your key words and to copy and paste your selected text in another electronic document (e.g. MS Word) to be printed/used at a later stage.

SA is part of a global community and this is reflected in the content of this cd, which investigates the impact of international events on our country (and vice versa)!
