The most common complaint about the World Wide Web is its vast resources. This book highlights specific subject areas and outlines the best starting points for finding information quickly. From travel advise to medical information and government statistics to legal resources, Great Scouts! details what is-and isn't- available on-line and highlights one or more of the best subject-specific areas.

This review is from: Great Scouts! Cyberguide for Subject Searching on the Web (Paperback)

If I were you I would not waste my time with this book. As with most books that try to show you "The Best Sites For..." the information is only good if kept current. When the book was published a year ago, it may have been current, but now URL's change or close, making it nearly impossible to trust the book.
