Product Description

Biographical profile of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computers and the man who led an evolution in American technology and culture. He ushered in the world of personal computing with the Apple and Mac line of computers, changed the way we buy and listen to music with the iPod, iTunes and the iTunes Store, introduced us to a new wave of animated films and technology through Pixar, with such hits as "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo" and gave us a new paradigm for mobile telephones and computing with the iPhone. Fortune Magazine named Steve Jobs CEO of the decade. It wasn't his greatest accolade. In 2006, American Heritage magazine published historian James Gordon Steele's list of the top 100 most influential Americans in history. He listed Steve Jobs as number nine, evoking a heated debate with author, and former Democratic congressional candidate, Joshua Heitz--not because Steve Jobs did not merit listing, but because he was ranked higher than F.D.R, who was 14th on the list. Whether Jobs merits listing in the pantheon of the top 100 most influential Americans in history may be debatable, but his standing at the pinnacle of marketing and technology's Olympus is not. Steve Jobs is perhaps the most successful marketing and sales guru the world has ever known. Business Week called him "the world's greatest storyteller," and noted that he " has raised product launches to an art form." The frequent appearance of his name in major magazines and newspapers, at times on a daily basis, is a profound testament to the surreal and mythical standing he evokes. Even a pronouncement of a forthcoming public appearance by the head of Apple sends the blogosphere into hyperdrive, with speculation on what new product he will introduce. So who exactly is Steve Jobs? Award-winning author and former syndicated columnist Daniel Alef tells the fascinating tale of one of America's most intriguing and complex titans of fortune.

Die Biografie des Jahres über einen der revolutionärsten Entwickler der Welt

Macintosh, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad – Steve Jobs hat der digitalen Welt mit der Kultmarke Apple Ästhetik und Aura gegeben. Wo Bill Gates für solide Alltagsarbeit steht, ist der Mann aus San Francisco die Stilikone des IT-Zeitalters, ein begnadeter Vordenker, der kompromisslos seiner Idee folgt. Genial und selbstbewusst hat er trotz ökonomischer und persönlicher Krisen den Apfel mit Biss (Bite) zum Synonym für Innovation und Vision gemacht.

Doch wer ist dieser Meister der Inszenierung, was treibt ihn? Walter Isaacson gewann das Vertrauen des Apple-Chefs und konnte als erster Biograf während der langjährigen Recherchen auf seine uneingeschränkte Unterstützung ebenso bauen wie auf die seiner Familie, seiner Weggefährten und auch der Kontrahenten. Entstanden ist das Buch über Steve Jobs und sein Unternehmen – nicht nur für Apple-Fans.

Product Description

It is perhaps no great exaggeration to presume that the number of times the Steve Jobs story has been told is roughly comparable to the number of iPhones that have been sold since the revolutionary Apple smartphone was first introduced in 2007. As history attests, there are few people about whom more books and articles have ever been written. Yet for all the media coverage that Steve Jobs has attracted throughout his storied career, there's a tangible sense among the general public that we never fully knew the real man behind the legend. In The Life & Death Of Steve Jobs: "One More Thing..." Michael Essany chronicles Steve Jobs's awe-inspiring accomplishments and sheds light on the little known personal details of Jobs's life.

BOOK OUTLINE:

Chapter 1: More Than Meets The i
Chapter 2: For the Love of the Game
Chapter 3: Underrated After All?
Chapter 4: Steve's Three Stories
Chapter 5: Steve’s Last Days
Chapter 6: Mourning in America
Chapter 7: One More Thing…

BOOK EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 3:

As difficult as it may be for Apple's large, borderline-rabid fanbase to admit, not everyone liked Steve Jobs.

Conversely, it’s even more difficult for Steve Jobs' critics to admit that the tech pioneer they loathe may have actually been underrated in his day.

Time and again, Steve Jobs pushed the proverbial envelope when it came to Apple’s advancements in technology. And while the consequences may have been unintended, there are myriad examples of Steve Jobs' ingenious leadership exerting influence well beyond the confines of Cupertino, California and the consumer electronics realm.

The Digital Walt Disney

It's tough to argue against the sobering reality that Steve Jobs played a major role - perhaps larger than anyone presently realizes - in the modern entertainment landscape.
"Steve Jobs has been compared to multiple business icons—Thomas Edison and Henry Ford to name a few—but the best comparison may be to Walt Disney," says journalist Larry Dignan of ZDNet. "There’s a solid argument to be made that Jobs was the digital version of Disney. Focus. Entertainment. Delight. Emotional attachment. Theatrical."

Of course, that's not the lone argument of a tech journalist enamored with the late Apple chief. Upon learning of Jobs' death, Pixar and Disney’s John Lasseter praised the so-called "Digital Disney" himself.

"Steve Jobs was an extraordinary visionary, our very dear friend and the guiding light of the Pixar family,” Lasseter gushed. “He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined. Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply ‘make it great.’ He is why Pixar turned out the way we did and his strength, integrity and love of life has made us all better people. He will forever be a part of Pixar’s DNA."

Ultimately, Dignan points out, it's not the love of animation and entertainment that made Jobs so similar to Disney. It was their seemingly identical professional mantra.

"Just make it great was Disney’s mantra," Dignan observes. "Jobs had the same focus. Anything—even the impossible at the time—was considered to make a product great. When Disney’s first Mickey Mouse cartoons didn’t sell he added synchronized sound. Magic soon followed. Jobs took that approach with his products, which combined technology, industrial design and art."

Influencing Action

It's been said that history will record Steve Jobs as one of the most driven and influential figures in modern consumer technology. But for all the accolades that have befallen Jobs in both life and death, there remains a substantial segment of the population that believes Jobs is not only the most accomplished business leader of his time, but also a vastly underrated creative influence in Hollywood.
