About the author

Born in California in 1952, Hess received his BA at Principia College, a Master's degree in architecture from the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, and is a licensed architect. After working with architects William Coburn, and Callister Payne and Bischoff, Hess started his own firm specializing in residential work and historic preservation. His first book, Googie: Fifties Coffee Shop Architecture (Chronicle Books 1985) focused on a neglected and popular Modern form. Following books continued to explore overlooked chapters in twentieth-century architecture and urbanism. He is responsible for qualifying several landmark buildings for the National Register of Historic Places, including the oldest operating McDonald's in Downey, Stuart Company Plant and Office Building and Bullock's Pasadena in Pasadena, and the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Sigh. Another iPad book which goes over the same terrain. Also, this is an iPad book rather than an iPad 2 book. But it discusses the set up of the platform and reviews the apps. The writing is reasonable. This is a very basic - very basic - guide. Would I buy this book again? No.

I've have been intensively using my Pad for four straight months and still I learned a number of things from this book. It was worth reading.
