Thrilling Detective Web Site Links: General Resources general resources Gerald So s rockin new forum to explore the dramaticimage of crime in television and feature films and its impact on crime fiction http://www.thrillingdetective.com/trivia/detlinks.html
Extractions: RECOMMENDED! William Denton's fantastic moderated mailing list concerning all things hard-boiled, including, ahem, private eyes and other detective fiction. For real buffs, although not for everyone, as expressed by Peter Lance, who had this to say: "I've never seen a list devoted to the ostensible study of hardboiled mysteries made up of softer people. You're all a bunch of bloated, self-important, would be-critics. There isn't a single one of you that I'd want to watch my back down some dark alley. Why don't you guys just go out and collectively get a life. Or write your own books instead of living like a school of cyber guardfish off the works of others." Evidently, some folks on the list didn't like Peter's book (I wonder why he needs his back watched?). Anyway, if you like this site, you'll probably like this list. And spammers, BSPers and other web parasites beware: Rara-Avis is simply one of the best-moderated lists on the Net. Bullshit is not tolerated.

Africa travel safaris offer the freedom, flexibility, and choices that you deserve. A place as wild and spectacular as the Serengeti is sometimes best absorbed in serene solitude with just yourself and somebody you feel comfortable with.

World History Web Resources: An Annotated Guide Provides an annotated guide to good Web resources for studying world history . general resources. Here are some sites which I believe provide good http://personal.cmich.edu/~loren1mg/world-history.html
Extractions: I have prepared this guide to help students find the best history resources on the Web. Unfortunately, there is a lot of garbage on the Web. Some of it is from people who have real biases on issues and they are trying to portray historical events in a skewed manner. Others simply write and post material which they sincerely believe to good history. The reality is that many of these people have no training in history and the end results of their efforts is misleading, wrong, or strange. I hope this guide simplifies the search process for history on the Web. Don't just type a search phrase into Yahoo! or Google and use what you find. Some of the worst sites do well in search engines and relying on them could seriously harm your grades! General Resources Here are some sites which I believe provide good resources for world history in general. Library Reference Search History Categories - This directory is based on the Open Directory Project which is a volunteer edited project of the Web. As every site submitted is reviewed by a real person, it assures that most of the spam, garbage, and wacko sites are screened out. This means most of the 12,000+ listings will provide you with good solid history information. The Open Directory Project is one of the most trusted sources on the Web. Thousands of sites use ODP data on their pages to give their visitors good Web results. Using Library Reference Search to access the ODP data will allow you to save time as dmoz.org has a slow response time on a regular basis.

Extractions: Sourcebook Africa is both the most clearly defined of continents - in its geography - and the hardest to pin down in historical terms. Human beings originated in Africa and, as a result, there is more diversity of human types and societies than anywhere else. It is not possible, in any non-ideological way, to claim any one of these peoples or societies as more essentially "African" than others; nor is it possible to exclude a given society as "not really African". On this site historical sources on the history of human societies in the continent of Africa are presented, when available, without making prejudgements about what is "African". This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major online Sourcebooks listed below. For more contextual information, for instance about the Islamic world, check out these web sites. Notes: In addition to direct links to documents, links are made to a number of other web resources.
