Notes: Covers everything from net etiquette to supercomputers; very
comprehensive. This work is a fairly bare bones and no nonsense guide to
the Internet. The book is orderly, and the explanations and illustrations
are clear. Each chapter covers a single topic and ends with additional
references, most often online materials or sources. The work is well
researched and highly competent in most cases. There is, in the early
chapters, a gracelessness to it which lacks any kind of appeal.
Nevertheless, it is a thoroughly researched and valuable reference for
those interested in using the resources of the Internet. It costs $39.95
but schools and not-for-profit organizations can buy it for $19.95 plus
shipping.
