A story based on true stories, Empress Catherine the Great of Russia was written by Robert K. Massie, compelling biography of justice in his new biography of historical slander, Catherine the Great
Equivalent to the rulers of other women: Queen Elizabeth I. As Stacy Schiff Cleopatra in her bio, Massie recounts the life of a famous woman without the bias of the last century. Told from the human side, a Catherine the Great was a sensual woman and a king who takes lovers who sometimes much younger that he appreciated the gifts and money, it does not make it a filthy despicable.
Without any smell politically correct gender studies in the tale better than any young adult novels German aristocrat who ultimately equivalent in the lead before Peter the Great of Russia. Born in 1729, At the age of 16, Catherine married as a young teenager heir to the throne of Russia. Like him, the Tsar Peter III born in Germany, but there the similarity ends.
Catherine is intelligent and charming girl learn about Russia, by embracing orthodox religious rituals, read voraciously and ready for the big responsibility of 20 million people.  
Peter alienated unsuspecting adult court with his contempt for all things Russian. Worse, he was cruel to animals, his servant, and most of all, the young bride. Worst of all, in the century when every ruler's Job One begetting heirs as much as possible, for nine years Catherine remained a virgin because her husband will not touch it.
Over the past 6 months in government disaster Peter, the nobles, and the church was already enough soldiers. They finally put Catherine on the throne at the age of 33 years stepped on, he developed samapai diamana pick her death in 1796. (It is not likely that Catherine planned or approved this action by his supporters)
 
Once in charge, Catherine became evident that reflects the ruler as a skilled workhorse collaborate between fascination with the Enlightenment - Voltaire he was dealing with - and the harsh realities of life in the control of a vast kingdom where millions of slaves russia live as virtual slaves that can be bought and sold.

Grabbing the Crimea.)
As he did in Nicholas and Alexandra and Pulitzer Prize winner Peter the Great, Massie drown the reader in history and culture of Russia. The author, 82, clearly fascinated by the incredible hero and an end, so does the reader. Even the bone-deep anti-monarchists will find themselves cheering on an absolute despot.
What a charming woman, what a world, what is biography.

Steve Job

   

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.  

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
