Outdoors Online : The Internet Guide to Everything Wild & Green

· Quick-access guide to sites worth checking out vs. those that are a waste of time
· Includes conservation and environmental websites-one of the fastest-growing areas on the web
· Cross-indexed to guide you to sites about your outdoor sport or environmental issue of choice

Whether you're buying the latest climbing gear, planning a family camping trip, looking for a like-minded wilderness date, checking out Bode Miller's latest escapades, or volunteering to clean up local rivers, Outdoors Online will lead you to the best web resources. Writer and web producer Erika Dillman evaluates the most useful-and sometimes the least useful-of all that's available to outdoor lovers online.
Handy features include a by-sport index to sites on climbing, skiing, hiking, snow sports, cycling, mountain biking, surfing, paddle sports, and more. Approximately one-third of the guide focuses on conservation and environmental websites, critiquing the value and character of magazines such as Grist.com and Plenty, and the tools and opportunities available at organizations such as Save the Planet.
