5.0 out of 5 stars
Unique and highly focused guide for non-technical humanists,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cultural Treasures of the Internet (Paperback)
Mike Clark's book is itself a "cultural treasure." It provides beautifully clear and succinct explanations of how to navigate the Internet and the Web specifically so as to harvest the wealth of material that is of interest to humanistic scholars and the culturally committed public alike. Mike is not a computer geek by trade; he's a university professor of humanities, and his knowledge and experience as a scholar, writer, and teacher accrue to make this book highly readable and easy to use. It has an excellent index and table of contents, and the addition in this new edition of an interactive CD-ROM, with narration by Mike, means that even the Web novice can use this book to locate and explore the riches of Cyberspace--literally within minutes. I recommend this book highly to anyone who wants to use the Web to access materials in the arts and humanities...and especially to those folks who don't have the time, patience, or interest to plow through lots of irrelevant and confusing technical details. This book is fun to use! I'm giving it as a Christmas gift to friends who are writers, readers, teachers, and researchers, in particular to those who see themselves as technobumblers and who need this kind of friendly guide to assuage their Cyberphobia. Note: It even leads one to Amazon.com, and a wonderful new way to find and buy books
