A good overview of the internet written in a straight-forward easy to read manner. The book starts by giving a brief description and history of the internet and includes a chapter of kid-friendly web-site addresses (and descriptions), the basics of determining whether a site is worthwhile or not, email and netiquette basics and some hints for parents. I would recommend this book for children AND adults who are interested in learning to use the Internet.

When I first bought the 2001 edition I was relatively new to trucking and not knowing what the next towns were along the interstate this has been a GODSEND for me especially being a woman trucker. All I had to do was pick it up and find the Interstate I was on, the state and the mile marker, I could find a safe place to stop, a fuel stop or a rest stop. The only guides that are out now go by state with everything listed by city in alphabetical order. That doesn't help me at all. I recommended this book to many of the trainees that I trained and made sure before I released them onto the road that they had a copy of this.

From back cover:

"Since its opening in 1969 the Exploratorium in San Francisco has had a profound impact on the way people experience - and create - museums. Focusing on natural phenomena that exist worldwide, the Exploratorium contains over 600 innovative exhibits meant to be touched and manipulated, not just admired. In '"The Exploratorium: The Museum as Laboratory," Hilde Hein gathers together ten years of research and observation to tell the complete story of how this institution pioneered the participatory museum philosophy.

She begins with its charismatic and controversial founder, Frank Oppenheimer (brother and colleague of Robert Oppenheimer (brother and colleague of Robert Oppenheimer, but also at the many other skilled and dedicated people who worked toward the Exploratorium's creation. She describes how the museum's exhibits and programs south to create public awareness of science. Hein also explains how exhibits are designed and modifed, paying particular attention to the role of art in the presentation of science.

For museum-goers and museum-makers alike, [this book] provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes history of the birth and growth of an idea and a museum."

This small book is not only a very friend tour guide to the institutions and locales of the spirit in Maine, but also provides a thorough and entirely readable overview of contemporary faith life downeast. The author's contemplative, yet conversational writing style, particularly in her explanations of some of the more esoteric, obscure, and overtly theological aspects and concepts, is perfect for such a work. The reading experience was not unlike many a friendly discussion of metaphysical concerns over tea and toast. Whether explaining the intricacies of Bahai or Spiritualism or examining the simplicity of the Amish and the Shakers or describing the life affirmation of Zen or Kairos the prison ministry, the author is spot-on in her exposition and narration. There's tons of fascinating trivia here as well, such as that the model for the painting AMERICAN MADONNA, which serves as the altarpiece at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Portland, was Robert Frost's sister Jeanie.
As someone who is moving to Maine in the near future, the book presented me with lots of ideas I'll want to explore once I get there. As the subtitle A SEEKER'S GUIDE suggests, this is vital information for any seeker, native or newcomer. Celestially highly recommended.

I found this book to be very useful! It gave me all the information I needed and more. If you want a book reeking of information about the nations of the world then you got one.
