    <![CDATA[This book is about harnessing the power of the Internet to enhance Mormon life and to help the Mormon community communicate and grow. Author LauraMaery Gold eschews the usual start of an Internet book--the explanation of what the Net is and how it can be used--and kicks off instead with a section called &quot;Building a Community.&quot; However, those who'd like the book to lead them online shouldn't be discouraged; Gold gets to the Internet basics later in the book, once a comfortable ambiance has already been built up to buffer the technology talk.<p> <em>Mormons on the Internet</em> looks at the Internet as part of the bigger picture, through discussion of the Mormon community and the church's mission. Then the book goes full electrons ahead with a directory of resources, which includes sites for Mormon publications, history, and education; resources for teachers, students, families, and singles; family history databases; scriptural study resources; information for and about missions; and places to find good online conversation. In addition, the resource list tackles controversial issues and offbeat sites devoted to Mormon science fiction fans and Latter Day Saints' humor.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Online investing has become one the Internet's early &quot;killer apps.&quot; Thanks to low commissions and the wealth of investing information available online, individual investors have shown themselves all too eager to bypass traditional brokerage firms in favor of the many brokerages that are opening shop on the World Wide Web. If you're not connected with an online brokerage or well versed in finding information about investing on the Internet, then <em>Invest Online</em>, by LauraMaery Gold and Dan Post, is a good place to start. This book is a database of the wealth of information available online, with hundreds of URLs pointing to the best places to find research reports, technical analysis, charting, and online portfolio managers. It also includes a brief survey of online brokerages, but shows a bias toward E*Trade, whose logo appears on the cover and whose CEO, Christos M. Cotsakos, wrote the book's forward.]]>

    <![CDATA[Want to know how to develop a personal financial plan? Looking for a top-performing mutual fund? Wondering which software stocks are expected to enjoy the fastest earnings growth? Answers to these and almost every other imaginable investment question are on the Internet--if you know where to look. Fortunately <em>Boot Your Broker!</em> can help investors find, sift, and use the Web's vast cornucopia of information. It is a solid introduction to online investing, useful for anyone but especially appropriate for those new to the world of finance, online or otherwise. The book explains some fundamentals of financial planning, citing many educational Web sites on concepts such as the time value of money and dollar-cost averaging. Basic information, augmented by more Web referrals, is provided for a wide variety of investments, from stocks and bonds to commodities, currencies, and collectibles. <em>Boot Your Broker!</em> includes details on the mechanics of making an online stock trade through E*Trade, a brokerage that receives special, favorable treatment throughout. E*Trade's president wrote the foreword, and a demonstration CD-ROM for E*Trade is included. The authors do not explain the connection except to say that E*Trade is &quot;the primary reason this book exists.&quot; The book does give cursory information about 10 other online brokerages. <em>--Barry Mitzman</em>]]>
