Netizens Netbook finally in a print edition (-:
Michael Hauben
The Netizens netbook is now in print! After 3 long years, it
is nice to see at last a print edition. It is a tribute to the
Net and the contributions and support of many of you that it has
finally appeared in an "old-world" book.
The draft remains online at http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/netbook/
which we will try and update when we get the chance to be the latest
version.
The book's full title is "Netizens: On the History and Impact of
Usenet and the Internet" and the authors are Michael Hauben and
Ronda Hauben. The ISBN number is 0-8186-7706-6. The publisher is
the IEEE Computer Society Press.
If you do not see it in your local bookstore, you can ask them to
get copies in by giving them the above information.
We welcome people interested in reviewing the book or other comments.
Write Ronda at rh...@columbia.edu or ro...@umcc.umich.edu
Thanks for the help and support!
