(More customer reviews)Authors Des Dearlove and Stephen Coomber present capsule biographies of 50 individuals who have played a major role in the spread of e-business. Besides providing some background on each person, these bios highlight their major contributions as individuals or through their companies. While many names and stories are familiar - Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates - others are less so, such as the developers of Google and Real Networks. The bios mix high-tech contributors, entrepreneurs and journalists covering the e-business revolution. Though the book has a brief introduction, it suffers from its alphabetical listing of the contributors, which presents the bios out of context. We at getAbstract.com say this book "coulda been a contender" if it grouped its bios in chronological order or by field, and offered introductions to local sections of that nature. Still, it's a useful encyclopedia of the selected individuals and a valuable e-resource.
