If you’ve ever fallen in love with the wrong person, been held by your insecurities, endured the pressures of family, dealt with the loss of a loved one, or fought to overcome obsessive behaviours in yourself or in others, then you’ve participated in the folly of life. In other words, you’ve undertaken a role in the high drama — and comedy — of a Shakespeare play. Covering such universal subjects as identity, the battle of the sexes, family relationships, love, loss and death, Laurie Maguire shows how the dilemmas illustrated in the bard’s classic tragedies, comedies and histories still help readers explore their own emotions and judgements. Together, Maguire and Shakespeare offer suggestions, comfort, empathy and encouragement as they set out some timeless principles for living. To read Shakespeare is to understand what it means to be human. To read Where There’s a Will There’s a Way is to be better understand how to deal with it. iWoz In 1975 Steve Wozniak decided to build a computer for a ‘bit of fun’ — he called it Apple. Three decades later and that bit of fun has spawned a billion-dollar company and over thirty million Apple users Having avoided the spotlight for the last 25 years, Steve is finally ready to break his silence. I, WOZ is the no-holds-barred story of the Apple co-founder and inventor, and how he changed the face of the computing industry. How, by creating a computer that was faster, simpler and -these days-better looking than any other, he helped to shape everything from the way that we listen to music(ipods), to the way that we communicate (ichat). For the first time Steve talks about his childhood, phone phreaking, pranks, working for Hewlett Packard, meeting George Bush Senior, a life-changing plane crash and his passion for teaching. From huge triumphs to big mistakes and back again, I, WOZ offers a unique glimpse into the offbeat, brilliant and ethical mind that conceived the Apple computer and grew into a cult icon.
