Editorial Reviews

Gr 5-9 - In Viegas's fascinating, accessible biography, readers learn about the early days of AuctionWeb and how it evolved into the eBay site. Born in Paris to successful Iranian parents, Omidyar and his family eventually immigrated to the United States. His fascination with electronic gadgets led him to his first computer, a TRS-80, and BASIC. Details of his early work with Claris and General Magic, the creation of Ink Development Corporation and AuctionWeb, as well as the growth and success of eBay, continue in successive chapters. In White's biography, a wealth of information is presented on the development of Silicon Valley. When Brin and Page first met at Stanford in 1995, little did they know that the project they worked on together, a graduate thesis, would develop into the now-famous search engine known as Google. Although these two entrepreneurs came from somewhat different backgrounds, both men grew up with a powerful interest in math and computers. Written more to reveal the faces behind these successful Internet developments, these titles are more career and business oriented than straight biography. Still, there is enough information for reports, and it's fairly easy to access. Captioned, full-color photos, boxed information, and a glossary of Internet, computer, and business terms appear in both volumes.-Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE
