Review:This book chronicles the dynamic history of the Web's creation and evolution and its emergence as a tool
for business. The creators of Mosaic, Yahoo!, and HotWired are some of the innovators whose creativity
and drive give this book its dynamic focus. This book explores the Web as a fact and a phenomenon, a
catalyst of change, and a new medium of mass communication. If you believe that the Internet is a
culture, Reid's book will give you the indispensable story of its founders, icons, and driving forces.

Review:Bronson's last novel, Bombardiers, was wonderful, so it comes as no surprise that his latest novel is just
marvelous. What does it take for entrepreneurs to risk everything, develop a product, start a company,
and take it public? When social idealism, corporate politics, petty jealousies, money fever--all part of the
business landscape in Silicon Valley--meet, the results make for a fun, fast-paced read. And if you're
