Review
In How to Use the Internet, 2001 Edition, Rogers Cadenhead has come up with an excellent picture of what most people do with the Internet. Furthermore, he explains each task--reading e-mail, searching and surfing the Web, chatting and the like--with clarity and simplicity that's not found in many other books. Like the other books in this series, this one explains its subject with full-colour, nicely rendered illustrations that closely associate explanatory text with screen shots from the software under discussion. The heavily graphical style will appeal to people who prefer to learn visually, rather than attempt to correlate an author's prose with what they are seeing on a video screen.
Users of Mac OS and Linux machines will wish for illustrations that match their machines--all the screen shots in this book come from Microsoft Windows--but this book is beautiful in its understanding of what's important to most Internet users. Cadenhead explains how to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), then goes beyond the expected e-mail and Web coverage to introduce chat (with both ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger) and stock portfolio tracking (on ClearStation). Cadenhead probably goes too far by attempting to cover Web publishing--the subject doesn't fit this format well--but nonetheless explains how to become a productive user of all aspects of the Internet. --David Wall
Topics covered: The essential skills required of a journeyman Internet user, including those related to e-mail, the Web, Usenet newsgroups, ICQ and AOL. There is coverage of MP3 music (but not Napster), plus some introductory material on publishing your own pages.
