Review of Crossing the Internet Threshold: An Instructional Handbook, by Roy Tennant, John Ober, and Anne G. Lipow.

In recent years, many books dealing with different aspects of the Internet have been published. The perspective of these books has varied from introductions to specific resources to troubleshooting TCP/IP internetworks. One area that has been generally overlooked is how to train people to use the Internet--that is until the appearance of Crossing the Internet Threshold. In addition to providing the content for training sessions, the authors have produced a framework for trainers, a wealth of resource material (some of which can be used directly without modification), and narrative descriptions of various aspects of the Internet.
