Web Books

I purchased this book for a friend who was new to the internet, but I couldn't resist cracking it open. The book is layed out in a very clear, concise format, if you're interested in a function of Yahoo!, there is probably a chapter devoted to it. I was amazed at the versatility of the site...I used the free email, messenger and companion, but had no idea that there was so much more to do on Yahoo!. I love Chess, now I can play online. I love getting up-to-date sports scores, now I can get them through Yahoo!. I love to buy through my computer, now I can comparison shop from a single web site, all through Yahoo! Shopping. If you want to save time and find out everything you can do with your computer, then this book is an excellent way to learn.

If, like me, you make your "home" in "Yahoo! country" or you're new to the neighborhood, you've probably found yourself overwhelmed by the hundreds of things to do and points of interest that should be taken in. But, with so so little time and so much to do, where do you find the assistance that you need? Pick up a copy of "How to Do Everything with Yahoo!" and you'll be on your way.

Unquestionably, this book is the answer. It is jam-packed with 500 pages of information on every conceivable neighborhood and how to get the most out of each one. Whether you are a Yahoo! newbie or a longtime resident, you shouldn't be without this book.

L'auteur Bruce Maxwell est un internaute qui sait trouver des renseignements sur la sante, en ligne. Ainsi arrive-t-il a s'arranger d'un diagnostic inattendu et du traitement qu'il faut. Quant a lui il y a une soixantaine de bonnes sources, en ligne, qui vous donnent, facile et gratuitement, tout ce dont vous avez besoin de savoir de la sante. Par exemple, on se sert de l'index comprehensif Internet Sleuth. Ensuite on trouve des reponses a des tas de questions sur des maladies, des soins preventifs ou des traitements, au moyen d'Alternative medicine, du Center for food safety & applied nutrition, et du RxList. Enfin on arrive meme a trouver comment se proteger des impacts du milieu sur la sante, tels que de l'environnement ou du travail!

Knowing HOW TO FIND HEALTH INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET helped author Bruce Maxwell to accept a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Then he went off surfing for the rest of us until he had identified over 600 online sources as the most dependable, reputable and up-to-date for large amounts of free, reliable and useful information. And he arranged all of his net finds according to whether they help with DIY information searching, such as through the Internet Sleuth health indexes database; or with specific conditions, diseases, or illnesses; or with prevention and treatment, such as Alternative medicine, the Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition, the National Oral Health Information Clearinghouse, the Needy Meds, and the RxList of capsule and tablet codes when you have unidentified medicines on hand; or with wider relevant issues, such as environmental, occupational and rural health. So it takes a caring, serious writer to put together such a straightforward book with the same patient commitment as Tom Ferguson's HEALTH ONLINE, John Grohol's THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES ONLINE, and MOSBY'S MEDICAL SURFARI.

This book really helped me find the best web sites for planning a few recent vacations. I've referred to it time and time again.

This is a great, easy to use book, with all the information needed to get online, get reservations and learn more about where you are going. If you're an expert with a computer or, just some who doesn't have a clue, you can use this book to get great travel information.

This book was written about ten years ago filled with solutions for existing problems that effect us all.However, the problems not only still exist but they are getting worse.For instance:l. China produces 96% of our apparel. This is on the backs of slave labor.2. China is buying up our treasury bonds that are putting us in debt and we have to pay the interest to them out of our tax dollars.3. A Super NAFTA Trans Texas highway is being built from Mexico to Canada and is owned by a foreign company. Cost: $1.2 billion.4. Our national debt is 8.8 Trillion Dollars. We pay about one billion dollars a day in interest.5. The Indiana Toll Road is $3.8 billion with a 75 year lease to a foreign company.6. Chicago Skyway is leased out to a foreign company $1.83 billion for 99 years. 7. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is on the market for about a hundred year lease to a foreign company.8. Foreign companies are trying to buy out the Texas Newspapers.9. We are selling our water companies to companies abroad.We are really selling out our country.10. The big box stores that advertise they save families in the U.S.A. $2,700 a year are doing so on the backs of slave labor.11. We had the slave labor mentality here in the U.S. for three hundred years. Have we no conscience left? Sure, millionaires can be made if you have slaves working for you for 50 cents an hour. Can we tolerate this anymore?!!Time to start a new program of keep America in America. Let's own our own country. And by the way, as shown in my book, so can every other country in the world and prosper! The solutions are in this book. Let us Restore Power to the People. The only people who will be hurt are the greedy and corrupt.12. There are 2,600 American Companies in Mexico now. Why? For cheap labor, of course.13. Hershey Chocolate just announced (March, 2007) that they are moving part of their company to Mexico, losing at least 1,500 more jobs here.Our job loss will continue until all corporations can sell their products at slave labor wage prices thus causing the downfall of our job market.Who will earn enough money to pay the taxes that run our schools, roads, court houses, policemen, teachers the very foundation of our society and, of course, our government.These low wage people will have to be subsidized themselves for shelter, food and medical care - more tax dollars spent when they could have had a very good job.Do we have interest paying bonds now? Do we have interest paying stocks now? Will they be able to make a profit if the companies pay the wages that people can live on, buy a house, buy food and pay for medical expenses? I think not. Unless they ALL move to Slave Labor wage countries where we are heading now and no one is stopping it. Our wage level will reach the lowest common denominator just like water seeks it's own level.We need answers. Read this book and find them. When our country sees the light and prefers to work FOR the people to see that their goals are met, then we can say, "We are to be the first country that sees our people, each and every one of them, is in the best job possible for them and that pays for all their living expenses (requirements) and will succeed at that job to leave to their dependents the ability to carry on and earn money like their parents did.There is no excuse for not allowing this to happen.We the people of the United States will willingly work at jobs that pay all our needs thereby causing many of our problems to go away.We all have potential and can fulfill that potential. The solutions are in the book....

For those of you who have held out hope that we will not have a stock market crash - so long to those dreams until congress does the right thing. The reason for the coming dilemma is the fact that our corporations have gone south of the border and to Maylasia and to Indonesia and are paying the workers about $3.00 a day. In those countries average yearly income is $450. That is fine except for one thing HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BUY OUR GOODS???

Our trade deficit is running $500 billion dollars. How are we gong to fix it

When these people do not buy our goods, the items sit in warehouses. If they are sitting, they are not selling.

Consequently the stock market goes down. When it keeps going down we have a crash. Remember l929. Not enough people with money to buy goods.

Our nation has become a service industry nation. Manufacturing has gone overseas. Do you notice how many things you buy are made in China? The country with no civil rights. But it has plenty of child and slave labor.

The corporations are "paying" our congress to do as they bid, that is why we need this "Campaign Finance Reform."

The handwriting is on the wall. The maquilidoros has Fortune 500 companies there. The people are living in tin roof shacks. No sewage no water. Do we call this responsible?? It will be the beginning of the end of our economy if something isn't done.

To make shoes overseas for $5.00 and sell them here for $160 is called corruption in my book.

There are solutions. Read the book. You, too, can die rich whether you want to or not by the solutions put forth.

Let's make something happen now for the betterment of all the world.

The time is now the, people is "us."

This is a very no-nonsense approach to building web pages. It's an excellent guide if you know what you want to put on your page but are mystified about the HTML codes to use to produce the effects you're looking for. This book even includes a guide on how to incorporate multi-media on your webpage. This is the best book I have read thus far on the subject.

After reviewing countless of books on web designing, I have finally found one of the most informative and easy to read books on HTML. Within the first couple of days, I quickly and easily created a very attractive website. If the reader follows the steps as outlined in the book I can assure you he will walk away with with a working knowledge of HTML. This is a must read for anyone interested in learning how to design web sites. The author definitely makes learning fun.

Sam's How to Use FrontPage 2002 is an easy-to-use guidebook to the latest version of FrontPage. I upgraded from FrontPage 98 and found the 2002 version much easier to use. Many of the oddball features of the 98 version have been eliminated. 2002 is a much simpler program to use.

This book uses many illustrations in color to show you what to do. These are well laid out and the text is simply and effectively written. I found the index quite adequate although I supplemented it myself with several items that I thought I might require again in the future.

The only time I didn't follow the recommendations given by the authors was in dealing with images. I find it often easier to copy the images from scanners and other sites and to move them, also, by copying and pasting rather than by some of the methods suggested.

Highly recommended.

A concise yet sufficiently detailed guide to using FrontPage 2002, this book is a gem. It's well organized and chock full of helpful hints and how-to's. Perfect for beginners, it's also a visual tour de force. I was able to create and publish a surprisinly decent website for my office in less than a week. Overall, a very impressive work!

I am dabbling in the world of HTML, XML, RSS, Atom, XHTML etc. and I found this book. I rented it from the library and was amazed at its step by step approach to HTML and Web Design and I am now trying to purchase the book (most likely off Amazon) as it seems such a good value for money.

At first I thought "10 simple steps" would be too simple to be really effective, but I was wrong -- it's a great approach. I've had the book for about a week, and I've really been able to learn a lot. I've been working with HTML off and on at work helping with some of our company's site pages, but never had time to really master it. The book's approach makes it easty to grab the concepts and learn them, and I appreciate the author's straightforward style. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn or learn more about HTML and web page construction in general. It's a good book!

this book starts an early series where a spymaster named hagen who is part hero part shyster who longs for a coveted post somewhat like head of homeland security. hagen's problem is he sends agents out on missions and they kept getting married and quitting on him. Intertwined in his quest are the lives of serena, her brother josh and his associates. I collected this series when it first came out. i recommend it to any romance reader who enjoys Ferrarella, Johansen, Palmer, and Mackenna

Serena Jameson weaves her web to tangle Handsome Brian Ashford into making his move. She ignited a primitive heat that shattered his control...and Hers!

- he loves all the glitter and animals. He wont let us read any other bedtime book - it is crazy

My 3 year old son recieved this book for Christmas and he loves it! So do I! It's wonderfully illustrated - the spider's web is textured with glitter, that surprisingly doesn't come off to the touch - and the words are almost melodic. Makes it fun to read for me and keeps my son engaged. I highly recommend this book!
