YOU are using the Web... Find out how it came to be?

Architects of the Web : 1,000 Days That Built the Future of Business 
Robert H. Reid / Hardcover / Published 1997

This book chronicles the dynamic history of the Web's creation and evolution and its emergence as a tool for business. The creators of Mosaic, Yahoo!, and HotWired are some of the innovators whose creativity and drive give this book its dynamic focus. This book explores the Web as a fact and a phenomenon, a catalyst of change, and a new medium of mass communication. If you believe that the Internet is a culture, Reid's book will give you the indispensable story of its founders, icons, and driving forces. Robert explores the history of the Net from a business perspective--how a communication system nominally built for national defense and in effect taken over by education and research came to erupt as the most important medium since television--and with greater speed and intensity than any communication medium ever. Each chapter examines the Web's business development through the story of one of its pioneers--including Marc Andreeson of Netscape, Mark Pesce of VRML, Jerry Yang of Yahoo!, Halsey Minor of CNET, and more. Its an exciting story of frantic activity in a whirlwind environment and of the individuals who rode the tornado to success. LISTEN THIS IS A MUST GET BOOK

WHEN U NEED A BREAK   Spring  OUT OF THE BOX: Find out about  - Antigua and Barbuda, the island nation of the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea.   A good place to start is  --- with a picture book.

Antigua and Barbuda: A Photographic Journey 
Dana Jinkins, et al / Hardcover / Published 1999 -Beautiful islands, rich in history, and one of the favorite yachting and charter destinations of the Caribbean. Antigua and Barbuda are small islands in the Eastern Caribbean, 27 miles apart but with one government. Populated by Amerindians at the time Columbus sailed to the "New World," they were not settled by Europeans until the Earl of Carlyle claimed them for England in 1625. Although independence was granted in 1981, evidence of British colonial influence can be spotted everywhere. In addition to having a rich history, illuminated by resident Desmond Nicholson's historical essay, Antigua is well known as the yachting and charter center of the Caribbean. One can cruise around Antigua and Barbuda for two weeks without stopping at the same anchorage twice. Jill Bobrow and Dana Jinkins have been coming to these islands for the past twenty-five years. This book is their homage to them.

Also worth looking at is Vasco story.
