Here are the fascinating and very different lives of six great composers who left their mark on history. Each composer's music refects his personality as well as the time in which he lived, and even though all this music crosses the centuries, each composer is more popular now than he was in his lifetime.

Wagner was an innovator both in harmony and in the structure of his operas, frequently applying themes or melodies to a particular character or event.

Accessible and affordable illustrated biography

Computer manufacturing is--after cars, energy production and illegal drugs--the largest industry in the world, and it's one of the last great success stories in American business. Accidental Empires is the trenchant, vastly readable history of that industry, focusing as much on the astoundingly odd personalities at its core--Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mitch Kapor, etc. and the hacker culture they spawned as it does on the remarkable technology they created. Cringely reveals the manias and foibles of these men (they are always men) with deadpan hilarity and cogently demonstrates how their neuroses have shaped the computer business. But Cringely gives us much more than high-tech voyeurism and insider gossip. From the birth of the transistor to the mid-life crisis of the computer industry, he spins a sweeping, uniquely American saga of creativity and ego that is at once uproarious, shocking and inspiring.
