Following is the review I left on another web site: So far I found 2 errors which MS confirmed: page 4, definition of UTP; and, page 17, max segment length 10base2; these are the errors I caught with my limited knowledge; my faith in the accuracy of the book has been undermined. I find this frustrating because I was looking forward to reading this book; I am now afraid to commit to memory anything I read within it.

If you're not looking for an engineering text - but rather something that explains in broad terms the functioning of internet technology, consider this book. It provides a clear, no nonsense overview of most of the important concepts. It can function as a jumping off point for further more specific research.

For executives and managers who are confused by many of the high-level texts currently available. Provides a good overview of key concepts and terminology.

This book has done an outstanding job of serving the purpose as describesd by the title. This book provides a dictionary and brief description on all elements of Internet. I have been using this book as a look up reference. Most of the time the brief descriptions are enough. And when I need to get into more details, this book provides me with the links to explore.

This an ideal book to keep by your side if you are involved in e-development.

This book was a total waste of time and money(well time, is sent it back). It gave a very cursory level explanation of all internet concepts and provided very little depth. If you have no idea how the internet works this may be a good book, otherwise buy something a lot more technical. Not written by microsoft press!!!!
