The University of New England, Australia, recently released version 3.0 of their interactive soil science CD-ROM, entitled appropriately enough, "OzSoils". CrystalMaker user, Dr Peter Lockwood, produced interactive QuickTime movies to illustrate clay and other soil mineral structures. The movies were generated by CrystalMaker, using its built in QuickTime and QuickTime Virtual Reality video recorder feature. OzSoils includes four main sections, covering the nutrient and hydrological cycles, soil structure and the relationship between soil and landscape. The modules use a flexible, self-directed learning structure and are designed to be relevant to a wide range of disciplines including ecology, biology, geology and engineering. OzSoils is published by the University of New England (School of Rural Science and Natural Resources), Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia; http://www.une.edu.au/agronomy/ozsoils.html.
