This book by itself incorporates several principles of accelerated learning.

The left-hand pages are designed to provide both an overview of all the main points and to be reproduced as posters. The Learning Revolution CD-ROM that has been produced to accompany this book takes the concept much further. The CD-ROM contains full-color-slide presentations of the poster pages, with these features:

- 16 different presentations, with recorded commentary.

- 300 color slides

- It can run on any PC or Apple Mac with a CD-ROM drive.

With it, you can:

- View each audiovisual presentation on your computer, or use a multimedia projector for classroom or public presentations.

- Select any slide and print it, in colour, on an ink-jet or color laser printer.

- Transfer the CD-ROM to your computer hard-disc.

- Mix the slides with your own if you want to make a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

- Mix slides with other applications, like encyclopedia clip art.

- Update your slides with new information off the Internet.

- Make the CD-ROM package available to all students, on individual

PCs, through a school’s own Intranet internal network. The book/CD-ROM package is a multimedia format ideal for “the textbooks of tomorrow”. With study material in this format, teachers and university lecturers can:

- Make an “accelerated learning” textbook available to all students on a particular course.

- Have access to professional color-slide and videotape presentations for big-screen viewing.

- Produce key points as color posters as lasting reminders.

- Provide all students with access to facts and illustrations to use in their own study projects.

And all at a tiny fraction of the cost of providing separate videos, 35mm slides and/or overhead projector transparencies.
