Review

There's no denying that for a beginner the Internet is a huge and very daunting place.

Without a few basic pieces of knowledge (the most important being where to locate the top search engines) you will find yourself severely limited in what Web sites you can actually find.

Of course, blindly guessing at URLs often works but with so many organisations with similar names it doesn't always guarantee you'll find what you are looking for.

Internet Directory in Easy Steps is a good starting point for an Internet beginner. It's a selection of some of the most popular Web sites around, grouped into specific categories.

The author has tried to pick subjects that appeal to the widest range of people so topics such as Internet shopping, food and drink, education, leisure and current affairs are all covered.

For the kids, there's a good selection of some of the more fun sites while the ardent hypochondriac should be happy with information about cancer, hayfever and osteoporosis. For the most inexperienced surfers this as good a book as any to start with, but as everyone who uses the Internet is looking for very different things, more proficient users might not gleam the same benefits. --Steve Russell
