    THE INTERNET GLOSSARY AND QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Millions of people log onto the Internet for a journey into the World Wide Web. Now there is an Internet travel guide that will make their trip smoother and more productive. This 'Fodor's' of the Internet will teach them 'Internetese' and guide them through the realities and virtualities of on-line travel.

In the tradition of Alan Freedman's other books, The Internet Glossary is packed with up-to-the-minute definitions and crystal-clear explanations. It's the one book everyone will want at his/her side when venturing into cyberspace.

Written by long-time Internet veterans, this book decodes confusing Internet lingo and provides quick how-to tips for such crucial tasks as making the most of Web search engines, dealing with helper applications and plug-ins, and mining the vast stores of information around the Internet.

ALAN FREEDMAN (Point Pleasant, NJ) is president of The Computer Language Company, an organization dedicated to computer education and training for business and non-technical people. He is also the author of The Computer Desktop Encyclopedia (also Amacom).

ALFRED GLOSSBRENNER is the author of some 40 books on personal computers, on-line services, and the Internet. EMILY GLOSSBRENNER has nearly two decades of experience with computers and on-line communications, and she has written numerous books and articles on those subjects....

    Computer lingo seems to be expanding about as fast as the Internet itself. The authors of this book provide an aid for those at risk of getting lost in the language. That includes everybody with a nontechnical background who suddenly has to do more than simply log on and check e-mail.

Those who find they must deal with their company's Internet sites or in-house intranets will find this work invaluable in communicating with technical people, whether on their own staff or from vendors. This is quite helpful when it's important to know that the techie talking about ATM isn't discussing getting money from the automated teller machine but making data move across the network in Asynchronous Transfer Mode.

But Freedman and the Glossbrenners do more than provide definitions of the terms an Internet user or administrator is likely to fall across. They explain the backgrounds of terms and phrases, making the work almost like a mini-encyclopedia. For example, they not only define the term "bus" ("a common pathway, or channel, between multiple devices"), but they also provide an illustration of the concept, clearly describe types of buses, and even explain why it's called a "bus" in the first place. They also conveniently divide the entries into alphabetic and numeric, eliminating any confusion as to where to find, for example, 32-bit processing (which is not a reference to a processor worth $4) or 6x86MX. --Elizabeth Lewis...
