I have really grown to love these series of "Technology Pioneers" themed books (that my nephew thoughtfully borrows for me from his elementary school library). The books are chock full of details about the companies and its founders; plus, since the books are aimed at elementary school level readers, it is so easy to read. Albeit simply written, the books are wonderfully informative, complete with a glossary full of technological jargon and their meanings, and a timeline of pivotal events that these books are sure to spark the interest of any reader and become an inspiration to the next generation of would-be, future technology pioneers.
