HTML tables, image maps and frames are very well explained, and a good introduction is provided to the use of forms (although the book concentrates on the front end of forms, not the scripting required at the back end). The book is very well structured which does enable you to use it out of sequence or as a reference manual. For areas that readers might want more detailed explanation on there are very useful pointers to web sites which provide further reference information. I had no prior knowledg of HTML programming and the book has helped me create some professional looking pages from scratch, writing all the code myself straight into the Wordpad text editor.

...or does in a particular way differently from others - for example, we process mathematical information and linguistic information in different ways. --Distinctive Development History-- Intelligence, even if gifted naturally, has a development line that can be traced from earlier to later proficiency. --Evolutionary History and Plausibility-- Intelligence can evolve to higher levels (this is readily seen in science and mathematics); likewise, intelligence can be lost in different arenas. --Experimental Data Support-- Intelligences can be isolated and studied - linguistic and spatial abilities are often used as experiments easily documented. --Psychometric Finding Support-- While the IQ test is hardly the final arbiter, there are ways of materially charting the relative state of intelligences of people in comparison with one another...
