    Review

    As a library/media specialist of almost twenty years and an English teacher before that, I feel qualified to comment on the CD-ROM produced by Michael Callis and Dennis Sullivan.

    I found the product a strong motivational tool for further investigation of the Frankenstein legend and all of its related artistic areas.

    When I introduced it to students in my media center and asked for critiques from them, the response was overwhelmingly positive from students at all levels. I would certainly incorporate this CD-ROM into our media center collection and would expect it to receive wide use by students and staff alike.

    It has my strongest endorsement as a unique resource which touches virtually every discipline in our school curriculum.

    Review

    "Totally cool!" said the 14 year old girl looking at Frankenstein The Art and Legends a hot new CD-ROM just released by Michael Callis. Adults and children are equally fascinated by the connections between art, literature, and scientific achievements that can be explored with this CD-ROM. The CD highlights links with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus.

    This easy to use program will run on either Macintosh or Windows. Multiple controls including a page by page tour, hypertext, an index, an overview, and back up and review features let users chart their own journey through a wealth of information.

    Who would have thought there was any connection between Frankenstein and the invention of photography or the legend of Saint George and the dragon? The CD-ROM ties together Frankenstein Cliff in the White Mountains, the ruins of a castle near Darmstadt, Germany, the American artists Godfrey and George Frankenstein, and the Frankenstein monster. Around these core topics are intriguing connections with such diverse figures as Captain John Smith, Goethe, and Louis XIV.

    Each screen on this informational CD includes an illustration or painting. Zoom in on images ranging from an early stereoscopic view of the original Frankenstein trestle to crypts of the Frankenstein knights to paintings from the Civil War and Niagara Falls to the Frankenstein monster overlaid on the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima.

    The CD-ROM is available at the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord, the Currier Galleria at the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester, White Birch Booksellers in Conway, and the Eaton Village Store in Eaton Center, all in New Hampshire, and at the Boston College bookstore in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
