The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog, Second Edition 
By Ed Krol
574 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-063-5, $24.95 (US)

We have just released the long-anticipated second edition of  Ed Krol's
critically acclaimed and bestselling guide to the Internet. We believe
that this new edition is a significant event for it  captures (as well as
any book about something as dynamic as the Internet) the present state of
Internet's tools and resources.  

As a complete introduction to the Internet, this book covers  the basic
utilities you use to access the network: mail, telnet, ftp,  and news
readers. But it also does much more. The Guide pays close  attention to
several important information servers (Archie, Wais,  Gopher) that are,
essentially, databases of databases: they help you  find what you want
among the millions of files and thousands of  archives available. There's
also coverage of the World Wide Web,  including the Web's multimedia
browser, Mosaic. We've also included  our own database of databases: a
resource index that covers a broad  selection of several hundred important
resources, ranging from the  King James Bible to archives for USENET
news.

Now more comprehensive than ever, here's what you will find in  the second
edition:

- An expanded, easy-to-use resource catalog. New and experienced 
  users alike can refer to the catalog to discover what's
  available on  the Net.
- Descriptions of three resources that serve as the Internet's 
  "card catalog": InterNIC, GNN, and Almanac (what they are, what
  they're for).
- A detailed look at Mosaic, the most powerful World Wide Web
  Browser around.
- An explanation of multimedia mail (MIME): what it means, how
  to deal with it.
- An introduction to pine, a popular mail program that supports
  MIME.
- More on ftp-mail servers, and different kinds of mailing list
  managers, including Majordomo and Almanac.
- An introduction to xarchie, a popular X-based Archie client
  with  an FTP client built-in, along with other improvements to
  the Archie  service.
- What's new in the "white pages," or the Internet's telephone
  book.  In particular, the book covers Netfind.
- An introduction to tin, another popular newsreader.
- New features of Gopher, including Veronica and Jughead.
- New coverage of the swais line-oriented WAIS client.
- An expanded list of internet access providers.
