2853 Book Review: Accidental Empires. | Robert Cringely's book is a witty, wide-ranging examination of the PC industry's humble origins, haphazard but phenomenal growth, and competitive future.

His book is a highly entertaining history of the personal computer industry, highlighted by insightful profiles of the rather eccentric personalities at its core Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mitch Kapor. 4.5 pgs. 3 f/c. 1b.

3675 Book Report: The Red Badge of Courage - American Realism in a Post-Photographic Age. | Stephen Crane produces an innovative style of writing in Red Badge of Courage, one that works to provide the reader with an immediate and realistic experience of the American Civil War. By placing the reader into a smaller scene of reality, through the eyes of one young soldier, Crane is able to heighten the sensory experience, and describe scenes of battle with vivid imagery that conveys both the chaos and savagery of war. As a technique, Crane's writing scripted images into photographic fragments that most closely resemble the individual's own sensory experience, thus making the soldier's experience one of greater reality than other war narratives of this era. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
