Notes: I used to think that this was absolutely the best Internet book for |
Macintosh users that was ever - or could ever be - written. Then, the |
second edition came out and proved me wrong. This book claims to be |
"everything you need to get on the Internet" and it delivers: everything |
from the software you'll need to get connected, to 1,000 pages of copious |
knowledge. This is a fun, enlightening, excellent book. If you own a Mac |
and are on the Internet (or want to connect) this is the one to get. |

Notes: This book is an excellent resource dedicated to Microsoft Windows |
users. It isn't quite as strong as The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh |
but is nonetheless a wonderful guide for teaching Windows users about the |
Internet and getting them online. It contains all the software you need to |
get online and explains how to use it. The book's resource listings, list |
of newsgroups, glossary and PDIAL and nixpub lists are perhaps too thorough |
- they take up about half the book. |

Notes: Essays by people involved with the Internet. Strong on protocols, |
weak on direction. The book is divided into four parts. The first section |
deals with an historical and organizational background to the Internet. The |
second section, written by the people who built the Internet, deals with |
technical aspects of the major protocols and applications of the Internet. |
Part three, "Infrastructure," covers issues not centrally relevant to the |
operation of the Internet, but supporting its use: network performance and |
management, backbone and node tools, directory services and operational |
security. The bibliographic information contained in the book overall might |
be worth the price alone. Quarterman's contribution is carefully and fully |
researched and well organized. It includes not only texts, but periodicals |
and online sources as well. |

Notes: This book is a huge tome, weighing in with 62 chapters plus 7 |
appendices. It is co-written by a zillion authors, and falls in the |
"everything you could possibly ever want to know about the Internet" |
category, with blanket coverage of accessing the 'net from different types |
of home computers, networks and with high-speed connections. This book |
covers just about every Internet topic you can think of, from security to |
MUDs, from doing business on the 'net to copyright issues and problems. |
