INTERNET YELLOW PAGES GETS SCIENTIFIC

A Whole Universe of Science and Technology Listings in One Directory
Berkeley, CA, Feb 1, 1996--science and technology information abounds on the Internet, but is frequently hard to find amidst the Net's vast stores of data. Now, authors Rick Stout and Morgan Davis have captured an entire universe of science, research, and technology listings and put them into one handy place. Osborne/McGraw-Hill introduces The Internet Science, Research, and Technology Yellow Pages, Special Edition, the latest in the series of Internet Yellow Pages Special Editions.
Author Rick Stout remarks on the broad audience the book was written for: "Anyone interested in science, research, and technology-from a high school chemistry student to a professional in a science or technology- related field, or even just someone who loves, say, genealogy-will find something here to satisfy their curiosity." As fun as it is thorough, The Internet Science, Research, and Technology Yellow Pages, Special Edition is sure to satisfy any science-loving Internet explorer in their quest for information.
