At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apples hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values. -- From publisher. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1222788 Co-existing peacefully for five hundred years after creating their magically protected valley, the surviving members of four non-demon races band together against frightening creatures that are penetrating the shield around their home. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1425318 When Emma Sharpe is summoned to a convent on the Maine coast, its partly for her art crimes with the FBI and partly because of her past with the religious order.
