Here are the hot links found in our book, Mark Kistler's Web Wizards! Links change by the minute (and we're talking Internet time!). Some of these are no longer the same as they were in the book, because they changed after it was written! You can always come here to find the latest links. If any of these are out of date, please drop by a line at wmdennis@dnai.com.

Take a virtual Tour of Egypt! This is primarily a travel site, but it has great snapshots of places you can visit in the cradle of civilization.

Douglas DeVore (a.k.a. Engineer Doug) created the amazing Chicken, Alaska website. This is a site for a town so small that it doesn't even have a telephone!

Andrew Wolf and his mom created Andrew's World, a great home page for art animals all over the world.

Another great place for help with your homework is Study Web. Heck, forget homework, it's a great place to learn about just about anything you want to know (just recently, I used it to find some great places to study the Chinese language).

We can never mention Kim Solga's Kids Art pages enough! Great place for cool art projects from a very cool artist and web author (she even does Mark Kistler's web site, now!).

Sadly, the Leonardo daVinci page featured in the book has gone away. But there are a lot of them out there to choose from! A good student page is Learning About Leonardo. It also features a lot of other links to learn about this great dreamer, drawer and doer!

Another Renaissance Revolutionary was William Shakespeare, and you can learn about him by Surfin' with the Bard! This is a cool site with a sense of humor. Amy Ulen has put together a fun site that's also a great resource for students and teachers.

The Franklin Institute is a museum that's been around for almost two centuries, but it's right at home in the new millennium! This site features information about current exhibits at the museum, and some exhibits that only appear on the Internet.

The Exploratorium was among the first museums to say "go ahead, touch it!" This is a great site for hands-on science fun. http://www.exploratorium.com
What's doin' on Mars? When will you get to take a trip to the moon? Go find out at the official NASA web site. This site is chock full of information, which is a primary mission of NASA: not just to find stuff out, but to tell everyone about it!

The Virtual Cave seems to have gone underground (har! har!). But I found another cool site about caves, the French caves at Lascaux. These caves have some of the earliest known cave paintings by early man.

And, for anything else, you can always try the official web site of the Smithsonian Institution. It's probably there!
