This book is a real eye opener, even for those of you who may feel learned when it comes to the Internet. There are countless numbers of primary source interviews (many of which are quite shocking) and personal accounts stylishly and perfectly kneaded into the text. Backed by his knowledge attainted from numerous educational accomplishments, Dr. Haas exposes a much hidden world, which is probably closer to you than you think, while provided expertly attained advice - and believe me, it's not your everyday 'helpful tips' or sums of drastic measures.
On another note, I particularly like the way Dr. Haas (by the way, he's a much loved father) incorporates information not just about online child molestation, but about other topics - such as female harassment and hidden attributes of the internet - , too. Little stories inside, coverage of technical jargon, dedication to quality, as well as being an amazing example of a book that is both down to earth and simple, yet at the same time superiorly embezzled with technical info (don't worry, there's explanations).
Definitely an interesting and insightful buy; get a copy if you're even remotely interested in the Internet or child protection or anything similar. And get the paperback..........it's cheaper :-) .

This is a great book for anyone searching for a bank with online services. This book is also ideal for any bank considering an online presense. The book thoroughly details - from a customer's standpoint - what banks are currently doing well, and not so well. Readers are provided with lots of good tips. It is practical and timely information - I would highly recommend this book.

Jill Freeze does an outstanding job in explaining the world of shopping online to people who might want to try it, but is concerned about privacy and safety. This is the perfect book to read if you've wanted to try online shopping, but need more information first.

Jill's style is entertaining and the book is quick-moving. You won't realize how much information you've accumulated while enjoying reading about the ins and outs of shopping online!

I highly recommend this book for newbies to shopping online. Jill explains everything clearly step-by-step. She also includes how to shop at Ebay and other online auctions. Most newbies would prefer to start their online shopping experience with something a bit easier, like buying this book at Amazon, for example, but everything you need to jump into the Ebay auction world is there if you decide to do that!

The book discusses how to look at the "big ticket items" online as well - things like houses and cars and colleges! You can do research online even if you end up buying the product at the local mall.

Jill Freeze is visually impaired and she is a perfect example of how online shopping makes life easier for SO many people in SO many different situations. I have been shopping online for a few years now, and have bought stuff from lots of e-tailers, including Amazon (yes, it was the first, and my favorite!), Webvan, Ebay, Half.com, Lands End, Drugstore.com, and many others. There's very little that you can't buy online, actually!

Jill discusses how to research the item you're looking to buy - she gives you lots of websites to check, but I found that she left out a few of my favorites:

BizRate.com - gives detailed reports on the different online stores - comparing on-time delivery, easy navigation of the website, prices, quality of items sold, etc. Yes, Amazon is very highly rated on Bizrate.com!

DealOfDay.com - looking for a deal? Check out what special offers are available at the online store of your choice ($10 off a $50 purchase, for example!)

BestBookBuys.com - My favorite thing to shop for online (and off-line, for that matter!) is books, and this website is the best for finding which store has your book at what price. You type in the title, author, or ISBN number, and it looks at about 30 different bookstores online and comes up with an easy-to-understand chart giving you the price (lowest price first), shipping cost, tax in what states, and best of all - AVAILABILITY of your book! Many shopping bots leave out this important fact. You can see the bottom line price - including shipping, and how soon your book will get to you. If you find that Amazon is your best bet for your latest must-have book (and it often is, all things considered), just click on "Buy" and BestBookBuys.com will take you right to the book detail page on Amazon (or whatever other e-tailer you click on) and there you are! Before buying from a bookstore that you aren't familiar with, check it out at Bizrate first.

Thanks, Jill, for a complete guide to the wonderful world of shopping online!

I thoroughly enjoyed this guide to my untraveled waters in internet dating. It made me aware of things to do and not to do as far as meeting someone online which I was very skeptical about. Some things I had already encountered and others that I feel I will be better prepared for in the future. I'm so glad someone finally wrote a book which was so needed and helpful!

Marguerite Bell
Authors Online, Ltd

Genre: Fiction/Historical Romance
ISBN: 0755200543, $18.95, 232 pp, 2002

Tears . . . I am still recovering from this poignant love story. I guess I'll always be a hopeless romantic, and Marguerite Bell knows how to work her magic. She is a consummate writer when it comes to the Napoleonic Era and will spark your imagination and passions.

The year is 1803. England and France have a tenuous peace at the moment. Little Letty Craythorne, sister to Sarah and daughter of the Admiral, agrees to marry Captain Oliver Westland of the British Navy who was jilted by sister Sarah. Immediately after the marriage Oliver leaves for Antigua without consummating the marriage.

A year later Letty is summoned to join her husband and during the voyage to Antigua, she is abducted by the French Captain Armand d'Anviers as war has begun between England and France. They sail the Atlantic together for two months until Captain Oliver Westland's ship arrives to reclaim his wife. Of course, Letty and Armand have discovered a truly passionate love, which has no hope for a life together.

The story is complex and rich with intrigue, human foibles, love and compassion.
The author doesn't miss a beat, and her rhythm carries you right along to a tearful, yet satisfying conclusion.

Other books by this author include: A Rose for Danger, The Devil's Daughter, Bride by Auction and The Distant Drum. The Pride of Eagles will be published sometime this year. She also writes under the name of Ida Pollock and books under this name include: The Gentle Masquerade, Lady in Danger, The Uneasy Alliance, Country Air and summer Conspiracy.

It is my opinion that Marguerite Bell's writing is of exceptional quality, and she is certainly an equal to Amanda Quick for historical romance. I believe her books are well known in England, and I wish her much success in the United States.

What you don't know who Paul Gillin is ? If not it is time to learn. Mr. Gillin is the Guru for the use of Internet based social media.

In discussing his newest book I can safely use a very common phrase "you will learn everything you need to know" about interactive media and most of all how to use it to your advantage and fully. I defy anyone to find any topic or Website or technology related to social media today that is not included in "Secrets of Social Media Marketing." Let me save you some time. There aren't any. He covers the field completely.

If you are new to marketing yourself, your company, organization or cause on the Internet this new book is the indispensable guidebook you do not want to be without. If you are an experienced hand Paul Gillin's book is the tool you need to benchmark yourself against the best and find out IF you are really doing it as well as you think you are.

I could wax on and on about this brilliant Internet age sage but all I will do is delay you from placing your order. Do yourself and the larger world a favor do so right now right here and within days you will be smarter than anyone you know about fully utilizing the Internet as a communications platform.

Let me close by relating the challenge Mr. Gillin concludes his book. He recommends take one of your good ideas. Probably one of many you have thought about but never done anything to develop it. Use it as the basis for a simple Website, or blog. Apply all you will learn from carefully reading "Secrets Of Social Media Marketing."

Mr. Gillin is confident as you should be that with his book as your personal consultant you will do very well indeed. If that is not an absolute guarantee from Paul Gillin certainly consider it a guarantee from this very impressed reader who is going to do exactly what Mr. Gillin recommends

Reva, one of the top five information brokers in the USA, sought out and interviewed 35 professional or gifted amateur commercial online (fee for service) searchers and provides in this book a delightful free-flowing conversation with each of them as a "master's class" for intelligence and information professionals.

I've owned every edition of this sourcebook since it was first published. It has grown larger and larger over the years as new groups have formed in real space and on the Internet. I wouldn't be without this book because it addresses almost every concern known. In addition to the basic information on groups and how to reach them, the sourcebook provides some useful definitions of terms, explanation of the concept of self help and much more. There is a nice overview of effectiveness research on such groups as well. As an educator I find that students are really interested in knowing about this book and they use it to help with some of their research.

Serentity gives us an insight in people, their motives of behaviour, social standards and in the way the book is written, it undoubtly holds us a mirror. The way different characters behave and their feellings, shows a great insight the autor himself has in life. So during the book the reader is able to identify him/herself with the different characters. But as a result, the book itself can be confronting as well! This might turn off people who are not ready to be confronted with their innerselves, as we find them e.g. in the different psychotherapeutic sessions that are very realistic described in the novell.

The humoristic passages however help us not to take things in the book to serious, allthough the whole subject of course is. The rapid course of events, the very original way in which characters are introduced and the whole plot make the book very worthwile reading!

I'm looking forward to the sequential book from the author.

The Sixth Market is an excellent primer for new securities traders. It is well written, easy to read, and explains the subject of trading in a simple, but uncomplicated manner. The three authors combined 60 years trading experience provides readers with the basics for understanding what trading is all about and what is required to succeed. The authors are not only traders, but are also educators, and two of them have written numerous books on trading.

The first part of the book provides a short historical perspective on the securities markets from the beginning until the present time (Sixth Market refers to self-directed traders who trade electronically). The book also contains a 14 page glossary and a list of recommended reading, selecting a broker, and getting the right computer and trading setup.

More than half the book is devoted to the Six Steps necessary to prepare for trading. It is a comprehensive approach that includes:

1. Building Self-awareness ( goals, trading style, success factors, and discipline) 2. Learning Market Fundamentals (markets, orders, Level II, short sales, trading rules, selecting broker) 3. Understanding Charts (market psychology, candlesticks, support and resistance, moving averages) 4. Trading From Reliable Chart Setups (High probability patterns, trading plan, gaps, exits) 5. Mastering Your Trading Plan (risk and reward, money management, discipline) 6. I Don't Have the Willpower to be Disciplined (self-directed study)

Theey to trading is a solid education, discipline, and a trading plan. That is what this book covers, and that is why is great for beginners. There is no fluff in this book or war stories just the facts. I highly recommend this book to those just starting out in trading.
