Corrigan, Jim. Steve Jobs.


Corrigan, Jim.  Steve Jobs.   Morgan Reynolds   2013  128p  $28.95  978-1-59935-076-9       series: Business Leaders #9.  ms/hs  Biography  VG-BN

This is the life story of technology guru Steve Jobs, a man who led us into new territories and broke down creative barriers.

Th
e text is crisply written and fully illustrated, with a low reading level accompanied by photographs. The inclusion of several facts, where to obtain more information, a list of web sites, a timeline, and a glossary/index make this a useful research tool.

After the informative text, the
second most attractive feature of this book is its visual appeal to young readers.  The layouts of the pages are varied and well balanced between text and photographic illustrations, so that concepts are grouped together.  The flow and balance of the text and the visuals are integrated to present a stimulating book for both young and reluctant readers.

This book is one in the Business Leaders series published by Morgan Reynolds.  Each book describes a different business icon.
