Despite the inevitable nerdy gimmicks it sports, The History of Life CD-ROM
demonstrates just how versatile this format can be. It’s difficult not to be
impressed by its scale and scope, and there’s more than enough factual
information to keep you going for weeks. Fundamentalist bookworms will still
hate it, though. Published by Ransom, £19.99, ISBN 1900127652.
