Compare the classic science fiction of Jules Verne from his 19th century novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth to modern science fact in this groundbreaking two-part set. Man has always been fascinated with the soil beneath his feet, but just how far beneath the earth's crust have we gone? Miners reveal some of the deepest mines ever constructed, while naval engineers demonstrate a deep-sea submersible capable of going 22,000 feet below the surface. In the lab, civil engineers talk of adapting NASA technology to develop a super-drill that could reach the center of the earth. And, scientists explain that there is in fact life very near the earth's molten core just as Verne predicted. Travel through the mouth of a volcano, through a sea of lava and emerge into a land of floating continents and upside mountains. This is the strange, violent world near the earth's iron core. Scientists explain how the core protects us from the sun's deadly cosmic rays and reveal how the molten core of iron Verne's shining "sea? benefits from our planet's built-in recycling system. Learn how the seafloor is pushed under the continents and down into the hot mantle where it melts only to return to the surface years later as molten lava and eventually the very soil on which we stand. Delve into the fantasy and amazing accuracy of Jules Verne's classic novel and discover what it will take for mankind to conquer the final frontier the center of the earth.

Old sturdy oak table stands in the middle of the chamber with several heavy dusty volumes on top. One of the manuscripts is open. A map of recently discovered lands lies on the table with a magnifying glass nearby. Most likely, the owner of the room is planning his new trip to the newly discovered lands to describe the people who live there and collect some specimens of local flora and fauna. The trip is not going to be easy, but such is life of a scholar during the Age of Discovery. The screensaver features beautiful artwork most noteworthy for the lighting techniques that make this work stand out. Each element of the screensaver, no matter how small, is carefully done. You even get an illusion that you can just reach out to the screen and touch the feather or turn the page of the book. This screensaver is positively one piece of digital artwork that will instantly win your heart once you see it. 2) Earth 3D Screensaver How did you imagine your future profession when you were 10? In my case, I decided to be an astronaut. I was sitting under a table with a saucepan on my head. My space table moved in space protecting the Earth from invaders of all kind. I'd shoot the invaders with a deadly flash-light gun. We are not kids anymore. But, are you sure that all your daydreams have vanished completely? Are you sure you wouldn't take a chance to look at the Earth from a space shuttle window? Today, you can easily turn your monitor into a realistic space shuttle window. I am not speaking of stupid space shooters. Earth 3D Screensaver is a realistic 3D globe model. It emulates a space orbiter window. Our planet looks exactly as it is seen by astronauts. You see the blackness of outer space with sparks of stars on it. You are flying around the Earth, a huge colorful ball with a thin veil of atmosphere. This is not like looking on a typical school globe. The view on the Earth from your monitor is so real. It's so easy to imagine... When finished being nostalgic, you can use the interactive mode. Instead of moving by a randomly selected orbit, you can control the globe. Use your arrow keys to rotate the globe. Earth 3D Screensaver allows you to turn on additional objects in the options. You can see airplanes, and labelled large cities and territories. The most exciting type of objects available are the 3D models of the most well known world objects. For example, you can see the Statue of Liberty in New York, the pyramids in Egypt or Kremlin in Moscow. It's a very entertaining mode and it's just plain fun. Want to amaze your friends? You should give this screensaver a try! 3)Nautilus 3D Screensaver Get ready for an exciting underwater adventure with Nautilus 3D Screensaver.
