Russell demonstrates these methods with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions?from what is the wrong side of a towel? to what is the most likely way you will die? Along the way, readers will discover essential tools for effective online searches?and learn some fascinating facts and interesting stories.Russell explains how to frame search queries so they will yield information and describes the best ways to use such resources as Google Earth, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia. He shows when to put search terms in double quotes, how to use the operator (*), why metadata is important, and how to triangulate information from multiple sources.
