The Parent's Guide to Protecting Children in Cyberspace
Parry Aftab: Published 2000 by McGraw-Hill, 339 pages, paperback This is a must have book for anyone who uses the Internet, regardless of how long or short a time they've been on-line. It is especially useful for those who have any responsibility what-so-ever for children who have Internet access. This is one book that should be read be every parent and used as a continuous reference in any school. Don't forget that, even if you don't have a computer, Internet access is readily available from friends, schools and libraries. This book assumes no prior knowledge yet manages to explain its message very clearly just using everyday language and using real-world (non-Internet) illustrations. This book stands apart from many others in that it is written by a US lawyer (the US is many more years down the road than we in terms of the Internet being such a ubiquitous commodity) and also by having being completely and successfully re-written for an UK audience. - AC See also Other 'Internet' books of Merit | ||
