Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Pike, Peter Kent, and three other authors take you on a 14-chapter excursion into the Internet using Mosaic. The book is broadly broken into five sections, starting off with a description of the Internet and the Web. The second part looks at Mosaic and what you'll need to get it running with Windows or on a Macintosh. FTP, Gopher, telnet, and WAIS are treated from a Mosaic perspective in the third section. Alternatives to Mosaic are the subject of the fourth part, and the expected list of hot sites rounds out the book. If you find Gilster's Mosaic Navigator too elementary for your taste, this book might satisfy your need for more Mosaic details.
