Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

《罗马君王传》(Historia Augusta)是一部重要的拉丁文历史文献,由三十篇罗马帝国中后期的皇帝传记组成。这些罗马君王不仅有经元老院正式确认的冠奥古斯都或恺撒称号的正统帝王,而且还包括了那些自立为王的或仅凭军队拥立就坐上王位的僭主。作者署名为生活在戴克里先至君士坦丁时代(公元三世纪末至四世纪中叶)的六位历史学家,因此也有学者根据这六位不同作者而称呼这本书为《皇史六家》(Scriptores Historiae Augustae VI)。

[美国] 沃尔特·艾萨克森 publishing house: Simon & Schuster 2011 - 10 other title: Steve Jobs
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

花了一周读完这本书,乔布斯这个暴君竟然是一个爱哭鬼,这真是让我没想到。传记立场很中立,让人能够从朝圣一般的发布会之外看到乔布斯的实际情况。最后十章是在ipad上阅读的,算是种致敬吧。
