| | | | Computer geniuses who've "made it big" are the ultimate heroes for many kids. These young millionaires in the high-tech and business worlds are big news today, but like all inventors before them, their work is based on the work of their predecessors. A "child of the 60s", Steve Jobs traveled around the globe in an attempt to find himself. He was a vegetarian, an environmentalist, and -- strangest of all -- is one of the most successful businessmen that the world has ever known. The story of how Jobs used his technical background to develop Apple Computer is a fascinating one -- even more so considering his abrupt departure from the company and later triumphant return as company savior.
| Author Bio| Ann Brashares | | Born in Chevy Chase, Maryland, Ann Brashares was lured away from graduate school by working as an editor in the publishing industry. Her first work of fiction, the wildly successful young adult novel, SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, spawned a popular series. |
