Yahoo!: The Ultimate Reference to the Web; Your Indispensable Companion to the Internet

Like the Yahoo website, this book found me some pretty cool sites that weren't in some of the search engines I tried. There are some truly cool sites: The Onion, the All-Music Guide, the Danger Finder, the Cocktail Club, Bartletts, and my favorite, GORP (the Great Outdoor Recreation Page)

I got this book to help my 5th grade class with surfing the Internet two weeks ago, and to help us prepare for our part of the school nature project (our part covered natural disasters). Not only did this book list sites on natural disasters but had sites on emergency preparedness and recovery for towns, as well as links to federal agencies and (of course) the best weather sites. We did the whole project using this book as our guide!It also showed us how to get news updates for topics that the class is interested in (the my yahoo! pages), which helped get everyone involved in selecting how we would set up the page for the class. I'm already planning on using it for the first day of school next year. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has to search for lots of research material--or just topics they're interested in.

This book has about a thousand websites that it reviews, and it claims that these are the best of the best. It is actually pretty funny, too, for a reference book, and got me to look at sites I never would have thought to go to.

My husband bought me this book because I was always complaining that I hated wasting hours looking for stuff on the Internet. In just poking through it the past few days I have found dozens of great sites. I can't wait to explore some more.
