Review:
Ever since The Rough Guide to the Internet rocketed onto nonfiction bestseller lists, publishers have tried to emulate its success. The Guardian Guide to the Internet, written by Guardian technology writer Jim McClellan, looks like another pocket-size beginner's guide. (Though at almost 450 pages, it's designed for those with exceptionally large pockets.) In terms of structure, however, the Guardian guide is quite different. The emphasis is on explaining how to configure and use the various applications, facilities, and hardware required to use the Internet as a functional tool--and not on long lists of Web sites.
About the Author:
What this book lacks in wordplay and literary flair it makes up for in clarity of expression and a straightforward and informal style. McClellan isn't Net-crazed. "Unlike other net manuals, this one won't be mindlessly gung-ho about the net," he writes. "I am pretty enthusiastic about the online world. But there are plenty of things online I don't find that convincing as yet." Written from a U.K. perspective, The Guardian Guide to the Internet covers all the stock ground, including browser operation, FTP, Usenet, IRC, and putting together a simple Web page. Interesting tips, which include some fascinating links, are seamlessly integrated into each chapter and complement the main body of text rather than reiterate it.
This is not a reference book. At a page and a half long, the index is too short for a book of this length. As a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand, and comprehensive guide to the Internet consisting of more than just step-by-step instructions, however, this book is a good choice. --Josh Smith, amazon.co.uk
Jim McClellan is a regular writer in the Guardian about computers and the Internet. He is also a contributor to Arena, Esquire.
