Written in a clear and chatty style, the Guide tells you all you need to know about getting connected to the net and informs you in a jargon-busting way how to surf around and find anything from the Virgin Radio Breakfast Show to a Bugs Bunny cartoon. As well as showing you how to check the weather, book a holiday and get the latest news delivered to your desktop, this easy-to-read guide runs through a description of all the different types of software you can download from the Web so you can listen to MP3 files or watch action-packed video clips. For wannabe e-tycoons there is even a section at the back on how to create your own web site in HTML.
The book admits the Internet also has its fair share of sex and smut. But rather than depriving children of this incredible resource, Vorderman puts forward some good practical advice so parents can let their youngsters surf freely and safely.
Overall, this friendly and informative guide proves that you don't need a degree in astrophysics to get online and will be enjoyed by anyone who is still a mouse click or two away from entering the fast-expanding world of the Web. --Justin Hunt
Many Internet guides are geared towards US users; refreshingly, Carol Vorderman's Guide to the Internet is written for users dialling up from the UK. Early chapters cover choosing an access provider, the pros and cons of free access and choosing an online service. While there are occasional Web site recommendations, the guide focuses mainly on core skills like how to read Web pages, customising Web browsers, using search engines, newsgroup Netiquette and building your own Web site. Net jargon and quirks are explained in text boxes and at the end of the book there's a useful glossary and directory of Web- related companies. For a new user dialling up from the UK, Carol Vorderman's Guide to the Internet, read in combination with a listings-focused guide like The Guardian Guide to Internet Shopping or The Internet 2000: The Rough Guide, offers one of the best introductions to the Internet available. --Kathleen Keefe --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
