Thoroughly researched and illustrated, not to mention thoroughly hilarious, this book describes in deathly detail what happens to the body when it’s struck by lightning, slimed by a dart frog, or flung from a mountaintop.

The Ultimate Desk Reference to the Web]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2086168.Yahoo_The_Ultimate_Desk_Reference_to_the_Web 2.00 3 Yahoo! The Ultimate Desk Reference to the Web applies editorial judgment to the billions of Web sites out there, yielding a nicely annotated list that spans dozens of subject areas. Health, government, sports, news--it's all here. One really nice feature: the book lies flat at almost any page, enabling you to station the volume at your side as you use both hands on your keyboard. Having said that, you would expect a directory published under the Yahoo! brand to have a supporting Web site that would obviate the need to do manual URL entry. No such luck.

At certain points, it's evident that the contents of a Web site just don't translate well onto paper: "Sound Effects has, of course, numerous belches, as well as the requisite boings, bells, and bangs." Right. But, anyway, this book is worthwhile reading for days of idle surfing. It'll make your everyday Web experience certainly more enjoyable. --David Wall

Topics covered: A directory of Web sites, organized by subject area and then alphabetically. Subject areas include art, computers, entertainment, news, science, shopping, and sports.

Lou Dobbs, the best-known personality in American broadcast financial journalism, founder of CNNfn, CNNfn.com, and CNN's Lou Dobbs Moneyline, believes that question can be answered in five letters: SPACE.

In Space: The Next Business Frontier, Dobbs and co-author HP Newquist explore where the money has gone, is going, and will go in space development by the private sector. Here they examine which new technologies have the edge, which corporations are players in the space game and which are destined to be, what start-up companies have to do to become players, and how to judge for yourself which ones will have the best chances for success.

Space: The Next Business Frontier is a crucial examination of an industry with unlimited opportunity.
