Why would people want to read a book on CD-ROM ? ... My answer is, "I don’t know -- I prefer books, myself." So why did I do a CD-ROM? Two reasons: The first is exploratory, the second pedagogic. The first reason is that I feel a strong obligation to try to produce, use, and reflect upon all new technologies. ... But the second reason is more interesting. There are many things one can do with a CD-ROM book that are impossible with a regular book. For example, little demos, video asides, and active interaction.

A CD book is a computerized version of a paper book. It has a cover, you open it, turn the pages, go back and forward and at the end has a back cover. Unlike a regular book though, it can contain links. A link lets you jump right to the topic page that you are looking for, such as a chapter page or subject page. This type of book can also play music or other sounds while you read. A neat feature is that a CD book can also contain videos, something a paper book could never do. If you find an interesting topic or page, you can also send this subject to your printer and have a hard copy for reference(like having an instant copy machine).

Les techniques d'avenir. Le livre est en danger dans sa forme actuelle. Il faut renouveler le genre, donner envie de lire, rendre le livre attrayant pour les jeunes, ou pratique. [...] J'ai imaginé [...] créer un livre sur CD-ROM, un livre enrichi par cette nouvelle technologie qui envahit les foyers. L'idée était d'ajouter au livre tout ce qu'un livre ne peut fournir dans sa forme classique : du son, des images à la demande, des commentaires en hyper-texte.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Basketball
DEF

A field goal attempt in which the ball is released at the top of a vertical jump.

CONT

By far the most common shots in the modern game, however, are jump shots and running one-handers. The jump shot is exactly that : the shooter jumps straight up and releases the ball with one or two hands at the instant that he is at the top of his jump out of reach of the defender, who can seldom make his counterjump soon enough.

  • Basket-ball
CONT

Le lancer en suspension est exécuté au plus haut point du saut d'un joueur, lorsque ses bras sont en complète extension. L'adversaire ne peut alors intercepter le ballon. Une main assure l'équilibre du ballon, tandis que l'autre exécute le lancer. Le lancer en suspension a presque entièrement remplacé le lancer sur place. Les 2 sont semblables, mais, dans le second, les pieds restent au sol.
