Review Summary

This CD-ROM is the electronic version of the handbook "PROSEA 2; Edible Fruits and Nuts". Other than the contents of the handbook, it also includes a database of the edible fruits and nuts of South-East Asia. Unfortunately it is technically outdated. Some of the diagrams and photographs have low resolution and it does not use multimedia to improve users' learning experience. It does, however, provide detailed information about the economically important food crops of Asia. It also contains information about botany, agronomy, and the economics of fruit growing.
