Before cell phones that fit in the palm of your hand and slim laptops that fit snugly into briefcases, computers were like strange, alien vending machines. They had cryptic switches, punch cards and pages of encoded output. But in 1975, a young engineering wizard named Steve Wozniak had an idea: What if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, the Apple I, a widely affordable machine that anyone could understand and figure out how to use.

Wozniak's life—before and after Apple—is a "home-brew" mix of brilliant discovery and adventure, as an engineer, a concert promoter, a fifth-grade teacher, a philanthropist, and an irrepressible prankster. From the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant, iWoz presents a no-holds-barred, rollicking, firsthand account of the humanist inventor who ignited the computer revolution. 16 pages of illustrations.]]> 3767 3.48 403 77 3766 3.47 49 10 2006 933226 0814408435 9780814408438 2 <![CDATA[The Genomics Age: How DNA Technology Is Transforming the Way We Live and Who We Are]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179581097m/933226.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179581097s/933226.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/933226.The_Genomics_Age_How_DNA_Technology_Is_Transforming_the_Way_We_Live_and_Who_We_Are 3.33 3 The Genomics Age probes the fundamental questions borne of advances in applied DNA science: Can we finally conquer cancer -- once and for all? Will we ever bridge the ideological and political divides in the stem cell debate? Does the rush to develop anti-aging drugs mean we are on the verge of finding the fountain of youth? As we genetically eliminate disease and pick and choose the attributes of our children, will knowing the code of life change what it means to be human?

This groundbreaking work also discusses the rapidly expanding use of DNA technology to solve crimes, the business of genomics, and the implications for the economy and the investment community.

As society grapples with the enormous challenge of a truly new frontier, we must all educate ourselves about the "what," even as we seek to answer the infinitely larger question of "why." The Genomics Age is the perfect place to begin.

 "At long last Woz tells his side of the story. iWoz takes us inside the mind of the ultimate nerd and inspires us with the sheer joy that he has always found in iconoclasm, invention, and intellectual discovery.  His account was worth waiting for: it adds intriguiging new information to the history of the origins of the personal computer revolution."--Alan Deutschman, author of The Second Coming of Steve Jobs
