More About the Author
A lifelong Connecticut resident, Jack Sanders graduated from Holy Cross College and has been a community newspaper editor for more than 35 years.
His interest in wildflowers began in the 1970s when he undertook a project to catalogue and photograph local wildlife. Over the years he has specialized in the study of the natural history, nomenclature, and uses to which wildflowers have been put, and in the process, has amassed a library of more than 150 books on wildflowers and related subjects.
He was northeastern region editor of Wildflower magazine, for which he wrote many articles. He has also written about wildflowers for The New York Times and other periodicals, and has given many lectures and courses on wildflowers. He is the author of Hedgemaids and Fairy Candles: The Lives and Lore of North American Wildflowers, The Internet Guide to Birds and Birding, and Internet Outdoor Family Fun Yellow Pages, all published by McGraw-Hill, The Secrets of Wildflowers, published in 2003 by Lyons, and three books of local history.
He also writes a weekly column on birds for nine newspapers.
He and his wife, Sally, also a newspaper editor, have two grown sons and live in Ridgefield.

This review is from: The Internet Outdoor Family Fun Yellow Pages: The Online Guide to the Best Outdoor Family Sites (Paperback)
I thought it was very good and indexed well. Some of the links are dead, but that's the nature of the Internet. I don't expect the authors to know if a site is going to hang around. I hope there's a 2000 edition.

Invaluable! A great roadmap to a fun new world!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Internet Outdoor Family Fun Yellow Pages: The Online Guide to the Best Outdoor Family Sites (Paperback)
The Internet is a wondrous place, but often hard to navigate when it comes to making it a family sport rather than a solitary activity. Jack Sanders' guide is a real treat, showing how the family PC can take the place of the library, the AAA, the yellow pages and roadmaps all at once. Don't plan to leave home on vacation without it! Some sites may be outdated, but that's the reality of the everchanging 'Net (and it would take a real nerd to search deep enough to find them). As for the rest of us family folk, this is the first book that turns the 'Net into a funhouse. The research, insight and all-round heart in this guide turns the vast Internet into a family playground!What a book!
