Review

This new history of a hundred years in California's Silicon Valley development charts not natural history and change; but the transition of business environments and companies within the Valley. The focus on the Valley's technological revolution and its focus on the institutions and personalities which helped shaped the Valley make for an unusual, engrossing coverage. -- Midwest Book Review
