The Internet. You can't read a newspaper or magazine that doesn't have about a dozen references to it. Everywhere you look, there is mention of something on the Internet. It seems that if you don't know what e-mail, Gopher, FTP, WAIS, and the World Wide Web are, you might as well be marooned on a desert island. If you're in that category, or even if you're already on the Internet, you need this book. In a stepwise and thorough manner, this book presents the basics of the Internet along with instructions on becoming an information provider on the Internet. It also gives useful information specific for chemists, such as Web addresses, electronic mailing lists, Gopher sites, and FTP sites. In 13 chapters, this well-organized, easy-to-use book contains information for novices and advanced users who want tips on chemistry-related aspects of the Internet. This book is an invaluable desk reference for chemists in all disciplines.
