Review:
As far as a tutorial on basic HTML (HyperText Markup Language) goes, Taylor runs Lemay's "Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML in 21 Days" (see reviews) a very close second. The material in this book is clear, well organized, and attractively presented. An odd positioning is the early chapter on URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). This could have been included with or after the chapter on linking, but there are arguments to be made for its placement up front. Taylor then covers basic HTML, text styles, lists, pointers, and multimedia additions. There are some solid pointers on common traps for the novice. More advanced topics are touched on lightly. Netscape extensions get a chapter to themselv... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Figuring out how to use the Internet as an educational tool in kindergarten through 12th grade can be a tricky matter. Brendan P. Kehoe, Victoria Mixon offer practical guidance for parents and educators in a book that focuses on real-world issues. While it's loaded with valuable introductory information and resources, what makes the book stand out is its level-headed discussion of such issues as the computer's role in the conflict between educational paradigms and case studies of schools that have put the Internet to work in their classrooms. Includes a demo copy of Cyber Patrol software on CD-ROM.

Review:
This volume contains a helpful and generally realistic set of resources. It talks primarily about the dangers, but does note that the risks are not as bad as some of the hype. The book does, for once, look at other "dangers" besides pornography, and has a reasonable chapter on netiquette. Online service protection options, content rating systems, and protective/support groups are discussed. In addition, there are suggestions and advice for "after the fact" detecting and policing. There are some gaps in the book. The fact that there are weaknesses, inaccuracies and misleading statements in the (now infamous) Rimm study/Time special is dismissed as "not important". The subtle censorship of Internet filter software is not discussed. ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Other than copping out on SLIP configuration, this is a very thorough, user level guide to Mosaic. (Come to think of it, SLIP configuration is *not* user level stuff, so the advice to rely on your provider is likely good enough.) Part one gives background information and a solid guide to what you need, and where to get it. There are separate chapters for installation on Windows and Mac, and a very useful chapter on error messages. Part two covers the operation of Mosaic, itself, while part three details the use of Mosaic as a front end to ftp, Gopher, telnet, Usenet news, WAIS, finger and whois. There are also chapters on the other World Wide Web browsers, plus the mandatory list of Web sites to visit. Well written, helpful and ai... Rest of this review on the detail page
