The World Factbook is the reliable and extremely popular source of
information on all the nations of the world. It provides up-to-date,
valuable data for more than 250 countries and territories in a concise,
well-organized format wherever and whenever you want. Each country
entry has its own high-resolution, full-color map and flag picture. The
World Factbook also provides interesting chapters for our changing
planet, oceans and parts of the world whose status has not yet been
resolved (e.g., West Bank, Spratly Islands). Topics addressed include
natural resources, industries, GDP, religion, ethnic groups, legal
system and much more. Key data are grouped under the headings of
introduction/background, geography, people, government, economy,
communications, transportation, military, transnational issues. The
World Factbook is a must-have application for those who possess a
curiosity or concern about the rapidly changing world in which we live.
Advanced English Dictionary is distinguished from the other (paper, electronic) dictionaries in many ways. Not because it contains far more words than a conventional paper dictionary, but because it uses a radically new approach and technology called WordNet. Instead of just listing the words and their definitions, Advanced English Dictionary shows how every word is linked to another. Type in the word "tree" and you will get not only the definition, synonyms and opposites, but the hypernyms (a tree is a kind of what?), meronyms (what are the parts of a tree?) and more. You can also find a list of hundreds of trees, from yellowwood to the Tree of Knowledge, and even all words that contain the letters t-r-e-e. This WordNet approach will help you to understand the meanings of words better. Linguists call WordNet project one of the biggest leaps for dictionaries since scholars sat down to write the epic Oxford English Dictionary.
Features in a nutshell:
