The Apple II age : how the computer became personal / by Nooney, Laine,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-343) and index.Introduction -- Prehistories of the Personal -- Cultivating the Apple II -- Business : VisiCalc -- Games : Mystery House -- Utilities : Locksmith -- Home : The Print Shop -- Education : Snooper Troops -- Inconclusions -- Epilogue: On the Consignment Floor.Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If we want to understand how Apple Computer became an industry behemoth, we have to look elsewhere: at the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the prodigious engineer Steve Wozniak, and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II would become one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning American industry. The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set a stage for the company's multi-billion-dollar future. Instead, the author - a computer and video game historian - suggests that what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. Not to hack, but to play. Not to code, but to calculate. Not to program, but to print. The story of personal computing in the United States is not the story of the rise of the hacker. It is the story of the rise of the user. Offering a constellation of software creation stories, the author puts forth a new understanding of how the hobbyists' microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know in the twenty-first century. From iconic software products like VisiCalc and The Print Shop to historic games like Mystery House and Snooper Troops, to long forgotten disk-cracking utilities, this book offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu - and why so much of it converged around the unbeatable Apple II. --

Beethoven : a life in nine pieces / by Tunbridge, Laura,1974-author.;

"A major new biography published for the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, offering a fresh, human portrayal The iconic image of Beethoven is of him as a lone genius: hair wild, fists clenched, and brow furrowed. Beethoven may well have shaped the music of the future, but he was also a product of his time, influenced by the people, politics, and culture around him. Oxford scholar Laura Tunbridge offers an alternative history of Beethoven's career, placing his music in contexts that shed light on why particular pieces are valued more than others, and what this tells us about his larger than life reputation. We discover, for example, Beethoven's unusual marketing strategies, his ambitious concert programming, and how specific performers and instruments influenced his works. This book offers new ways to understand Beethoven from an expert voice"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 232-260) and index.

Modern Japan : a very short introduction / by Goto-Jones, Christopher S.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-153) and index.Acknowledgements and conventions -- List of illustrations -- Introduction: What's modern about modern Japan -- 1: Japan's encounter with the modern world -- 2: Imperial revolution: embracing modernity -- 3: Overcoming and overcome by modernity: Japan at war -- 4: Economic miracles and the making of a postmodern society -- 5: Overcoming denial: contemporary Japan's quest for normalcy -- Epilogue: Japan in the 21st century -- Further reading -- Index.From the Publisher: Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products-from animated movies and computer games to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques-are consumed around the world. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. This Very Short Introduction explodes the myths and explores the reality of modern Japan, offering a concise, engaging, and accessible look at the history, economy, politics, and culture of this fascinating nation. It examines what the term "modern" means to the Japanese, debunks the notion that Japan went through a period of total isolation from the world, and explores the continuity between pre- and post-war Japan. Anyone curious about this intriguing country will find a wealth of insight and information in these pages.

Conclusion ; -- Coda: Describe the tongue of the woodpecker."He was history's most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us? The [bestselling biographer] brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography. Drawing on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from standing at the intersection of the humanities and technology. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted history's most memorable smile on the Mona Lisa. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo's lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions. His ability to combine art and science, made iconic by his drawing of what may be himself inside a circle and a square, remains the enduring recipe for innovation. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it; to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different."--Jacket.
