<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of thought-provoking quotes from Steve Jobs, this book shares the unique perspective of our era's most remarkable business leader, in a gift format that should appeal to a huge audience of business readers and others.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Drawn from more than three decades of media coverage--print, electronic, and online--this tribute serves up the best, most thought-provoking insights ever spoken by Steve Jobs: more than 200 quotations that are essential reading for everyone who seeks innovative solutions and inspirations applicable to their business, regardless of size. <p/>Jobs, who passed away on October 5, 2011 at the age of 56, co-founded Apple in 1976. He stepped down from that role in August 2011, bringing an end to one of the greatest, most transformative business careers in history. Over the years, Jobs gave countless interviews to the media, explaining what he called "the vision thing"--his unmatched ability to envision, and successfully bring to the marketplace, consumer products that people find simply irresistible. <p/>Jobs made an indelible mark in multiple industries, and played an enormous role in creating others. Consider how Jobs and Apple shaped the following fields: personal computers (laptop and desktop), apps (for multiple electronic devices), computer animation (Pixar), music (iTunes), telecommunications (iPhone), personal digital devices (iPod), books (iBook), and, most recently, tablets (iPad). Jobs was the greatest business visionary of our era. <p/><i>I, Steve</i> is the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this great American original.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>It's the same treatment given such luminaries as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Christopher Hitchens and offers Jobs's views on life, death, technology and design, among other topics. --Timothy R.

Perhaps it's inevitable that a book about him would be titled I, Steve. --Ned Potter, <b>ABCNews.com</b> <p/><b>Praise for Other Titles in Agate B2's <i>New York Times</i> Best-Selling Series, <i>IN THEIR OWN WORDS</i></b>: <p/>[<i>Impatient Optimist</i>] is like eating salted peanuts: Once you start reading, it's hard to stop. - Anne Fisher, <b>CNN Money</b> <p/>[<i>Boy Billionaire</i>] reveals the intimate thoughts and beliefs of the man who has arguably created one of the world's largest companies...and who is also one of the world's greatest social connectors. - <b>Strategy Driven</b> <p/><b>Praise for Steve Jobs</b>: <p/>Rarely has a major company and industry been so dominated by a single individual, and so successful.

In the last decade, Apple has redefined the music business through the iPod, the cellphone business through the iPhone and the entertainment and media world through the iPad. Again and again, Mr. Jobs gambled that he knew what the customer would want, and again and again he was right. --<b><i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/>CEO of the decade. --<b><i>Fortune</i> magazine</b> <p/>The world's best-performing CEO. --<b><i>Harvard Business Review</i></b> <p/>Person of the Decade. --<b><i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>George Beahm is the author or editor of more than 25 books, many of them companion volumes about well-known writers and public figures.
