About the CDs

 

A set of two CDs forms a library of high resolution images taken from the 4th edition of Planet Geography. The CDs are designed for use together with the book. Image files on the CD are named to match the figure numbers in the book, and the photo captions in the book should be referred to when viewing the images on the CD.


CD-A contains images from Section A of Planet Geography on the theme of Population, Resources and Development (chapters 1 to 5), plus Section B (chapters 6 to 14) on the theme of Physical Environments and their Management.


CD-B contains images from Section C of the book (chapters 15 to 26) on the theme of Our Global Human Environment.


Medium resolution copies of all images may be viewed free as a service to students and teachers at http://homepage.mac.com/scodrington/Planet_Images/Menu55.html


All images are scanned in high resolution and presented in a way that guarantees maximum flexibility and usefulness.  The images can be used on Macintosh or Windows computers, and they can be printed as well as being viewed on screen.


The images can be imported into any commonly used drawing application, graphics application (including Photoshop, iPhoto and Graphic Converter), presentation  application (such as Powerpoint or Keynote) or web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and Camino).  Some more advanced word processing applications, such as Microsoft Word and Pages, can also import the files.


Windows and Macintosh computers will both run slide shows directly through the operating system.  Macintosh users may also use iPhoto (which comes free with OS X), Spotlight (OS 10.4 or later), Keynote, or one of the many freeware and shareware applications available (such as Graphic Converter).


Other suitable shareware applications for Windows and Macintosh users may be downloaded from websites such as www.download.com, www.versiontracker.com, and www.tucows.com.
