Review:
Of the three titles in this series, this is the most general, and the least platform specific, but still provides one of the better overviews of Mosaic. The first four chapters are general explorations of the Internet, World Wide Web (WWW or W3), and the Global Network Navigator (GNN). Chapters five to seven give a great deal more detail than previous Internet guides on customization of Mosaic, multimedia extensions, and HTML (HyperText Markup Language). A final chapter looks at possible future directions, contacts, and resources. Appendices give reference guides to Mosaic and HTML. As with the Windows version, unfortuantely, there is almost no material on installation, or dialup IP accounts (or software) for the Mac. copyright Rob... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Less general, and more specific to the MS-Windows product than the companion volume for X, this work still provides one of the better overviews of Mosaic. The first four chapters are general explorations of the Internet, World Wide Web (WWW or W3), and the Global Network Navigator (GNN). Chapters five to seven give a great deal more detail than previous Internet guides on customization of Mosaic, multimedia extensions, and HTML (HyperText Markup Language). A final chapter looks at possible future directions, contacts, and resources. Appendices give reference guides to Mosaic and HTML. SLIP, unfortuantely, is only mentioned in the glossary. A great deal of the material here is simple, but some of it is quite important for the operat... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
The first four chapters seem to have very little to do with Mosaic, per se, being general explorations of the Internet, World Wide Web (WWW or W3), and the Global Network Navigator (GNN). Chapters five to seven, however, give a great deal more detail than previous Internet guides on customization of Mosaic, multimedia extensions, and HTML (HyperText Markup Language). A final chapter looks at possible future directions, contacts, and resources. Appendices give reference guides to Mosaic, HTML and X, as well as installation instructions for the included CD-ROM (plus the locations of the files on the net). A great deal of the material here is simple, but some of it is quite important for the operation of Mosaic as a realistic tool. Per... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Parts two and three do provide a basic overview of the Mosaic interface (although the coverage of the menu items is pretty disorganized), customization, and "add-ons" you can use to enhance your setup. Chapter eleven gives a reasonable start to basic HTML (HyperText Markup Language) although it gets kind of confused between the raw HTML and HTML Assistant examples. The last part, as now seems to be mandatory, lists the usual bunch of Web sites. There isn't much to say about the rest of the book. Two chapters are devoted to *not* telling you how to set up IP connections, TCP/IP and Mosaic. Believe me, unless you already know how to prepare for a Mosaic installation, you will *not* be able to set up the program from the information in... Rest of this review on the detail page
