Laudon (information systems, New York U.) and Traver (a lawyer, she's an executive with an e-business) have produced a knowledgeable textbook to the field. The authors are quick to mention the recent financial troubles of the industry, and they include several cautionary tales among the case studies. The tone is one of enthusiasm though, as they instruct the reader in the vocabulary and procedures involved. They discuss basic business principles as well as those issues peculiar to the field, including Internet security and encryption, the legal environment, online service industries, and B2B commerce.
