Now more than ever, we have more time to use and read all those books we've been looking for (if you haven't worked or noticed young boys or girls).
The story of Steve Jobs and how Apple got its start, one of the world's best-known companies, is one of the most interesting articles to read.
In this article we have a recommendation for a book to read about Steve Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak, the history of designer Jony Ive and current CEO Tim Cook, as well as some key guides on the impact Apple has had on computer evolution.
Please note that most articles are available in English only (which would be a good opportunity to practice the language).
Steve Jobs
This biography of Water Isaacson was published shortly after the death of Jobs in 2011. Isaacson was credited with being Jobs's official documentary researcher and was given over 40 interviews with Jobs and interviewed over 100 colleagues, family members and Job's friends. Oddly enough, Jobs gave the entire book to his organization and did not even ask to read it before publishing it, so when the book was published it gave us a real idea of what Steve Jobs really thought.
Costing € 9,49 in Kindness and € 7.49 in Apple Books.
Fry a little
In many ways this book is different than the previous one, but not so personal. Fry Fry is written by Steve Job's first daughter (the one he originally wanted was not her own) Lisa Brennan-Jobs. The book is less about Job's work and more about his personality. Brennan-Jobs is a career writer and this is her story.
You can buy it for € 6.49 at Apple Books Store and costs € 5.45 in Amazon Kindle.
A bite from Apple
Job's daughter was not the only one who wrote about her father. Lisa Brennan-Jobs's mother Chrisann Brennan also wrote about her relationship with Steve Jobs. Given Jobs' brutal treatment of Brennan, it's not surprising that the book is not a defining characteristic of his descriptions of works, but it does provide a fascinating insight into his character in Apple's years of construction.
You can get it for € 7.99 at Apple Books and for € 5.29 in Amazon Kindle.
Woz
This is the autobiography of Steve Wozniak, another Apple founder. Published in 2006 and a well-read, easy-to-read account of the story of Woz, recounting his childhood and how he met Steve Jobs. Keep in mind that Woz left Apple recently, so you won't learn much about recent events at Apple.
Buy from Apple is 3.99 euros.
Apple Cook's Apple
Leander Kahney (formerly Wired) has released some of Apple's staff news (as you'll see if you continue reading). We'll start with Tim Cook, who sees Cahney explain Cook's actions since taking over Apple's Steve Jobs before the Jobs massacre.
You can buy it at Apple for € 5.99 or at Type in € 5.69.
Steve Jobs's second coming
Published in 2001, the book looks at Steve Jobs' return to Apple after being fired from the company he founded 12 years ago. Writer Alan Deutschman discusses how Jobs contributed to one of the biggest changes in business history when he transformed Apple from a company that wasted money to another that made hundreds of millions of profits.
You can buy it for € 5.99 at Apple or at Kindness.
Simply Easy
Ken Segall was the creative director of Apple's sales organization when Jobs returned to Apple and worked with Jobs on the launch of the iMac and in campaigns such as Sworn Alternatives. His book is about the simple thinking behind Apple's marketing.
Costing € 9,49 in Apple Books Store y Amazon Kindle.
