This interdisciplinary resource—suitable for any course requiring an orientation to the Internet or specifically the Web—offers a powerful metaphor that characterizes the World Wide Web and demonstrates how the treasures of the Internet can be discovered and their learning potential realized.

Not only does the book provide non-technical explanations on locating and saving information from the Web, it also describes why the use of the web changes traditional modes of reading, writing, and conversing, giving examples of the way people communicate online.
