Reviews

This book focuses on a very important educational subject matter: the proper usage of search engines for children. ... The impressive list of 195 references assures the reader that this book is comprehensive; the cataloging of the author's 15 prior publications and three published studies on the subject matter indicates that she is the right person for the job. (Michael Goldberg and R. Goldberg, Computing Reviews, January, 2017)
