This book is a good place to start! It is much better than using the online help available with WebCT. It saves time and I feel that I will continue to use it for reference.

The Undergraduate's Companion To English Renaissance Writers And Their Web Sites is a simple research guide for twenty-first century students of English Renaissance writing. It features a wide list of authors in alphabetical order, and each listing contains a list of web sites with brief descriptions, the titles of biographies and literary criticism works about the author, as well as basic information concerning relevant journals, bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, or handbooks. An excellent and easy-to-use reference for finding key references.

I first checked this book out of the college library because I had to teach the novel during my student teaching semester. It offered so much background information, literary analysis, and my favorite part...projects and questions for written or oral exploration. Thank you Ms. Johnson for giving me a valuable resource all in one book!

As an online training developer, I found this book to be very helpful. It combines theories with practices with several online models for large group training, K-12 online curriculum development, and learner differences. The theory part is also informative. It introduces several theoretical frameworks that can be applied to a spectrum of learners and learning situations.

"Things are never quite what they seem." Whoever said that must have read UNEXPECTED, 11 stories that are almost guaranteed to surprise --- and delight --- you. Some are mysterious, some are funny, and some are touching. But all will keep you reading until the very last page, when you get an unexpected surprise every time.

One of the stories, "Loser," is about a boy who constantly loses things, all kinds of things --- even a tuba that the school lent him so he could practice (yes, he actually misplaced a tuba!). Now, of course, you'd expect the tale to end with Frederick (that's the boy/loser) not losing things anymore. But what's unexpected is how he breaks his losing habits. As you might guess from the tuba episode, "Loser" is not only highly unusual but also quite funny.

In another story, "The Telltale Croak," an underage boy sneaks his father's car out for a little joyride and accidentally hits the youngest member of a neighbor's family who has wandered out onto the road. In a panic, he buries the body near a hidden pond. The boy is terrified and feels guilty --- so guilty in fact that he keeps hearing the croaks of a bullfrog that was in the pond and witnessed him bury the body. The "croak, croak" sounds to him like "murder, murder" and almost drives him mad. How can he explain to his father about the new dent in the car's fender? How will he tell his sobbing neighbor girlfriend that it was he who is responsible for Marky's strange disappearance? What will he tell his family and the police? Ah, that's the surprise, and we'll never tell....

UNEXPECTED will enthrall you with such strange occurrences as a haunting that started in pioneer days and now affects a modern-day family, and a miniature village where the inhabitants are tiny as well. But be warned: expect the unexpected when you read UNEXPECTED. You won't be disappointed.

I have been an AOL member for two years. I first joined using Windows (then switched to the iMac version). I was seriously considering the possibility of switching to another online service, because of all the problems I had getting and staying connected, finding Web sites and so on.

I bought a couple of AOL books and finally chanced upon Mr. Steinberg's work on AOL 4.0. This book was the answer for me! It was easy to read, detailed, but clear and crisp. I followed his instructions on setting up AOL software and my modem. And now I'm able to enjoy the wonderful AOL experience. I've even kept my membership as a result.

I first heard of Gene Steinberg via his funny commentaries on the Craig Crossman radio show ("Computer America") and I'm happy I bought his books. He really knows his stuff and I recommend you read everything he writes. I'm now a fan!
