Product Description

"A Virtual Tour of the United Nations" consists of a single CD-ROM with more than 150 interactive panoramas, over 40 video interviews, information about the UN's 191 member states, unpublished photographs and videos, and information on gifts and artwork from all over the world that are on-display at the UN's Headquarters. The interactive CD-ROM offers a wealth of resources to see, listen and read about the United Nations. Upon start-up, the CD-ROM directs you to a main menu consisting of six categories: About the UN, Main Organs, Headquarters, Guided Tours, Professions and Gifts and Artwork. Users learn about the six main organs of the United Nations and the role of the Secretary-General, can see gifts and artwork from all over the world and dig into the history of the United Nations. The virtual tour of the UN's Headquarters in New York City is the highlight of the CD-ROM. Explore one of the most visited sites of New York City without leaving your home! Set out on a tour of the Headquarters, with one of the UN's multilingual guides. Users visit the most important areas of the UN, view special exhibitions and hear and read an overview of how the UN system functions. Stops include the Security Council, Economic and Social Council, and Trusteeship Council chambers, the majestic General Assembly Hall and the famous UN Garden. Another exciting component of "A Virtual Tour of the United Nations" are 40 first-time interviews with UN staff and delegates. Here you will learn about the many professions that are part of the UN from peacekeepers to gardeners to cartographers. This CD-ROM is a must have for anyone interested in the United Nations and a perfect addition to the collection of someone who has always wanted to take a journey through this unique organization. "A Virtual Tour of the United Nations" is a powerful teaching tool that combines an engaging narrative with the liveliness of interactive panoramas and interviews.
