BOOK
Steve Jobs (Real-Life Reader Biography)
Ann Gaines
$25.50

About this product:
Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.

If ever there were a person whom we could accuse of "thinking differently," it would be Steve Jobs. Though he is largely responsible for the fate of Apple Computer, Inc., he did not invent the personal computers Apple sells. That is mostly attributed to his partner, Steve Wozniak. Jobs claims that "Woz" was the first person he met who knew more about electronics than he did. As young kids back in the 1970s, Jobs and Woz started Apple Computer in Jobs' garage with $1,300 the two had saved.

When Jobs was twenty years old, he made his first million dollars. He made his first billion when he was forty. He is one of the most important people in two different revolutions that enrich and entertain all of us today--the movies. But when Steve Jobs was born, he had nothing, not even a mom or a dad. His biological parents gave him up for adoption. He was lucky to be adopted by some wonderful people who made Steve important in their lives.

Here is the story of Steve Jobs and his incredible rise to the top of the business world.

BOOK
Inventing The Movies: Hollywood's Epic Battle Between Innovation And The Status Quo, From Thomas Edison To Steve Jobs
Scott Kirsner
$15.95

About this product:
From Edison to the iPod, from the Warner Brothers to George Lucas, the story of how the movies became America's favorite form of escapist entertainment - and retained their hold on our imaginations for more than a century - is a story of innovators prevailing again and again over skeptics who prefer to preserve the status quo. Inventing the Movies unspools the never-before-told story of the innovators who shaped Hollywood: how a chance meeting at the Saratoga Race Track led to the end of black-and-white movies ... how Bing Crosby brought you the VCR ... how Walt Disney tamed television ... how a shotgun blast signaled the end of hand-made models and the beginning of digital special effects ... and how even the almighty Morgan Freeman had trouble persuading theater-owners that the Internet wasn't their mortal enemy. Inventing the Movies is an important read not just for fans of Hollywood's history, but for innovators trying to make change happen in any industry.

BOOK
Fortune Magazine November24 2008 Steve Jobs & Tim Cook Apple The Genius Behind Steve (Vol. 158 No. 10)
$3.50

About this product:
"Time to Jump In?" The answer offered is a qualified yes, if you choose stocks paying higher-than-average dividends.

"The Genius Behind Steve," the pancreatic cancer survivor head of Apple, is Tim Cook. We learn where he's worked, went to school, and that he sent someone to China to fix operations there. Whether he has the new product vision of Jobs - no insight offered.

"CEO in Chief" summarizes the economic problems that President Obama will face. Some fear possible opposition to free-trade will prolong the recession (no cause-effect evidence offered, just a recitation of folklore built on Depression-era correlations), others predict moving forward on infrastructure projects and clean energy initiatives. The article rambles on and on, from one possible position or direction to another. The good news is that this is a byproduct of Obama's openness to opposing views; the bad news is that it makes the article vacuous.

"Mitt Romney's Advice to Barack Obama" is standard conservative business ideology. The "best" part involves "free trade," which Romney supports: "An effort to block foreign trade will (lead to) products in this country (becoming) uncompetitive. Look at what happened to the Soviet Union. Its cars, watches, goods became a joke." And our cars haven't? It's getting harder and harder to even find something Made in America!

"A Goal We Can Believe In" presents Ram Charan's ideas for improving American exports, starting with revitalizing the Department of Commerce. (Why not eliminate it - why replicate Adam Smith's 'invisible hand.') Another is to devote more federal money to industrial research. (Aren't we already funding most drug industry research, and hasn't that turned into a giant giveaway?) Missing from Charan's list - reduce American worker pay to levels competitive with China - eg. $100/month. (I'm joking, maybe.)

"Secrets of Their Success" covers an interview with Malcom Gladwell about his new book, "Outliers - The Story of Success." Gladwell's conclusions - Bill Gates did well in computers because he had an incredible headstart via access to available terminals at an early age, experts' findings that Chinese IQs average about 10 points over Caucasians are unconvincing, and instead of thinking about talent as something you acquire, it should be thought of as something you develop. Someone should tape Gladwell's mouth shut and his fingers together, sparing us this malarkey.
