DESCRIPTION:

As an educator, I would highly recommend this book to other educators to use as quality reading material for high school students and above. The Microsoft Trial chapter was especially well-written. Dr. Becraft breaks down complex legal terms in a way that students can understand and he provides a historical context for the court cases. Very engaging reading for both high school students and adults alike.. Working Hard and Fighting Hard Gracie It surprises me that the Charity will end when Bill and Melinda go, According to Bill Microsoft will be gone or not that important any more. His treatment by the government is similar to what Rockerfellow went through. So history just repeats itself and are just a bug.

The introduction to the series included with this book states that it (and the rest of the series) is intended for public and school libraries. It would be well suited for these libraries, and could be useful in academic libraries serving community and junior colleges, as well as those supporting lower-level baccalaureate students." - ARBA
