A curated shelf of multimedia reference titles on health, science and nature

Reference Titles & Multimedia Catalog

Hopkins Technology has published reference and educational titles across health, nutrition, science, fine art, travel and geology. Below is an overview of the catalog as published over the years. The titles fall naturally into two groups: our health and nutrition titles and our education, science and culture titles.

Health & Nutrition Titles

This is the heart of our catalog and reflects decades of work in consumer health publishing.

  • Diet & Nutrition Software — a family of diet, exercise, cookbook and weight-control tools for Windows, built on our large food-nutrition database. See our nutrition software page.
  • Western Herbal Medicine Reference — a multimedia encyclopaedia of Western herbalism for everyone involved in health care, practitioner or patient. See the herbal medicine title.
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine & Pharmacology — a multimedia reference on Eastern herbal medicine and traditional theory. See the Traditional Chinese Medicine title.
  • Natural Health Encyclopaedia — a guide to maintaining health through the natural use of herbs, vitamins, minerals and other substances.
  • Food-Nutrition Database (CD-ROM) — for many years one of the largest nutrition databases available, listing tens of thousands of foods with all available nutrition data.
  • Nutritional Analysis Program — a professional-grade nutritional-analysis tool covering thousands of foods.

Science, Art, Travel & Education Titles

Although our focus has always leaned toward health, we have published a range of titles for the curious mind.

  • Physical Geology — a two-disc set of instructional images and explanations with an integrated glossary.
  • Active Faults Imagery — earthquake-science imagery with video and aerial photography.
  • Butterflies of North America — a natural history and field guide.
  • Amazing Universe — a visual tour of the cosmos, past, present and future.
  • Fine Arts of China — a photographic history of ten thousand years of art.
