Mark Zuckerberg: Shaping Social Media

by Therese Harasymiw

Overview

Mark Zuckerberg is perhaps best known as the creator of Facebook, but this tech mogul was working with computers long before the rise of social media. Today, the young CEO lives a relatively quiet life and has pledged to give much of his money to charity. In this captivating exploration of Zuckerberg's career and personal life, readers will find the real story of his inspiring, though and at times controversial rise to fortune and fame. Informational sidebars, full-color photographs, and annotated quotes give readers a behind-the-scenes look into what continuously drives Zuckerberg to achieve success.
