Field Guide to the Internet
Quick and Easy Answers to Getting Connected

The Internet is one of the hottest topics in computing, but the
language-both the technical terms and the insider's jargon-can be
intimidating and incomprehensible to the newcomer. Now Internet/English
translation for Internet travelers is available in FIELD GUIDE TO THE
INTERNET; from Microsoft Press. 

Field Guides are illustrated, task-oriented quick reference guides packed
with tips and tricks. Inspired by traditional field identification
handbooks to flora and fauna, these colorful, easy-to-use, go-anywhere
computing companions provide quick answers with a lighthearted touch. Both
the most reluctant novice and the most experienced power user will find
that looking up information about features and functions is a snap with
Field Guides. 

FIELD GUIDE TO THE INTERNET provides an easy-to-use, concise, visual quick
reference to the Internet for beginning and occasional users, covering
concepts, terms, and techniques for getting on and around, plus tips for
social and technical survival in the Internet jungle. Concise definitions
will demystify the terminology, and step-by-step instructions will show
readers how to get to popular locations and start on their own
explorations. 

Navigating the Computing Jungle FIELD GUIDE TO THE INTERNET contains four
sections that help readers navigate the computing jungle. The
"Environment" section provides a visual introduction and defines key terms
and core ideas readers should understand as they begin exploring the
Internet. "The Internet A to Z" lists in alphabetic order the tools,
terms, and techniques users need to know. "Troubleshooting" lists
solutions to the problems that may plague new users of the Internet and
gets readers out of tight spots. "Quick Reference" describes commands in
systematic detail. 

One of the many elements that make this book so attractive to all users is
the Tipmeister. This friendly computer expert in safari gear leads readers
