……给所有做管理或给 startup 做扩产的人。关于历史，以及世界为什么是今天这副模样：尤瓦尔·赫拉利的《人类简史》、贾雷德·戴蒙德的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》、威廉·伯恩斯坦的《繁荣的背后》、哈罗德·埃文斯的《他们创造了美国》（They Made America）——极棒的历史书，每一章都详尽讲述了美国历史上的一位商业领袖或发明家的故事。
…anyone in management or scaling a startup. History, and why the world is the way it is today: Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond The Birth of Plenty, William Bernstein They Made America, Harold Evans -- fantastic history book with each chapter telling the detailed story of a businessperson or inventor in U.S. history
……现在的创造力，在于找到那个现成解法并把它改造到当前这个具体问题上。”我认为这是个好方法。比如看看这本《从蒸汽机到搜索引擎》http://www.amazon.com/They-Made-America-Centuries-Innovators...，书中罗列了两个世纪以来的创新。
…Creativity is now finding that solution and adapting it to this particular problem." I think this is a good method. See for instance this book From steam engine to search engine http://www.amazon.com/They-Made-America-Centuries-Innovators... listing 2 centuries of innovations.
……年。依我看，不管你在搞什么创作，这都是写创作过程写得最好的书之一。《保卫食物》——我看过的针对还原论“营养主义”弊端最犀利的批判。《他们创造了美国》——通俗速读美国历史上最具革命性的一批男女发明家和商界人物的历史。
…year. IMHO one of the best books ever written on the creative process, no matter what you're creating. In Defense of Food - Best criticism of the problems with reductionist "nutrition-ism" I've read. They Made America - Good, quick history of some of America's most revolutionary inventors, businessmen and women.
> Kildall 至少认为这是个严肃的问题。关于 Kildall 的观点，我见过的最好一手资料就是他在《他们创造了美国》那本书里的专属章节。书中引用了他未出版回忆录中关于这场争端的部分（后来他的子女允许计算机历史博物馆公开发布了该回忆录的一部分，但不包括《他们创造了美国》所引用的那部分……
> Killdall viewed it as a serious question, at the least. The best source I've seen for Kildall's viewpoint is his chapter in the book They Made America. It quotes sections on this dispute from his unpublished memoir (his children later allowed the Computer History Museum to publicly release a portion of the book, but not the part that They Made America…
……和技能。它也只解释了那一小部分人为何能暴富。卡内基就曾明确发文反对苦干，强调人脉网络的价值。我相信其他强盗大亨也深以为然。去读读《他们创造了美国》吧，看看过去两百年里那一页又一页才华横溢的发明家，他们至死身无分文，而他们的发明却让其他占据有利地位的人发了横财。
…and skill. It also accounts for a small fraction of the wealthy. Carnegie wrote explicitly against hard work and in favor of the value of networks. I'm sure the other robber barons agreed. Read "They Made America" and see page after page of brilliant inventors of the last 200 years who died broke, but whose inventions produced fortunes for other well positioned people.
……Kildall，埃文斯在三年前出版的一本书里合情合理地将他尊为“个人电脑革命的真正奠基人与 PC 软件之父”。在埃文斯《他们创造了美国：从蒸汽机到搜索引擎的两百年创新者》中专门写 Kildall 的章节里，埃文斯讲述了 Paterson 是如何“‘顺风搭车’抄了 Kildall 的操作系统，盗用了 [Kildall 的] CP/M 的‘外观与体验’……
…Kildall, who Evans justifiably described as "the true founder of the personal computer revolution and the father of PC software" in a book published three years ago. In a chapter devoted to Kildall in Evans' They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine: Two Centuries of Innovators, Evans related how Paterson "[took] 'a ride on' Kildall's operating system, appropriated the 'look and feel' of [Kildall's] CP/M…
