How to Use the World Wide Web is conveniently subtitled
The Full-Color Approach to Problem Solving, a title that fits the contents well. The emphasis in the book is learning to use a Web browser and using sites that enable exploration, such as search engines and indexes. The approach is tailored to the novice, offering step-by-step instruction on Windows 95 software, with large illustrations that point the way. This approach is helpful, and it's nice that the authors include a decent slice of Web sites worth visiting to help readers understand why they'd want to be on the Web to begin with; for example, a chapter in this mode is "How to Find Art Museums on the Web." If you're looking for a book to help a total net beginner get acclimated to Netscape or Internet Explorer, this is a good choice.
