(4) 4-6 Techies series. The books in this series clearly explain the details of their subjects' contributions and give perspective on those endeavors in the larger high-tech world. Illustrated with a few stock black-and-white photos, the books are mostly positive about the contributions of Case to the business of Internet access, Dyson to the prediction of trends, and Fanning to the sharing of music; still, they note the controversies surrounding these activities. Bib., ind. [Review covers these titles: Steve Case, Esther Dyson, Shawn Fanning.]

(4) 4-6 Techies series. These run-of-the mill biographies trace the personal and professional lives of three leaders in the computer technology revolution: Jobs of Apple Computer, Andreessen of Netscape, and Bezos of Amazon.com. Jobs is the best of the three with its balanced description of the visionary taskmaster; Bezos is the weakest, due to choppy writing. Bland stock photos add little to the volumes. Bib., ind.

(4) 4-6 Techies series. Although the books in this series include biographical information, their strength is the clear way they present computer history and technology and highlight their subjects' contributions to it. Torvalds's operating system Linux, Ellison's relational database Oracle, and Yang and Filo's Yahoo! search engine are discussed in journalistic prose illustrated with bland, sometimes tangential stock black-and-white photos. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Techies titles: Linus Torvalds, Larry Ellison, Jerry Yang and David Filo.]
