 Excerpt
 
 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.
