Widely regarded as the finest poet of his generation, Seamus Heaney is the subject of numerous critical studies; but no book-length portrait has appeared until now. Through his own lively & eloquent reminiscences, Stepping Stones retraces the poet's steps from his early works, through to his receipt of the 1995 Nobel Prize for Literature & his post-Nobel life. It is supplemented with a large number of photographs, many from the Heaney family album & published here for the first time. In response to firm but subtle questioning from Dennis O' Driscoll, Seamus Heaney sheds a personal light on his work (poems, essays, translations, plays) & on the artistic & ethical challenges he faced, providing an original, diverting & absorbing store of reflections, opinions & recollections. ...

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. & they have no respect for the status quo. You can"e them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. & while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

- this book chronicles the rollercoaster life & searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection & ferocious drive revolutionised six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing & digital publishing. At a time when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economics, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness & applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology, so he built a Company where leaps of imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
