Seattle Adventures (Color Interior Edition)

Book excerpt: This is the expanded second edition of the colot interior version of the book. This edition has been published in 2001. Some of the reviews refer to the older edition published in 2008. Inspired by author's stint at Amazon.com. Seattle, a medley of lush green hills surrounded by snow capped mountains and sparking blue waters. Congo.com--an Internet company based in Seattle which has taken the stock markets by storm, and is transforming itself from an online retailer to an eCommerce platform, led by a CEO who leads this transformation but is not afraid to act goofy. In the middle of all this lands a former executive from Silicon Valley. It begins as a story of a technologist leaving behind his beloved Silicon Valley for Seattle. It unfolds into a moving story capturing Seattle's beauty, its interesting people and culture; and the inside scoop on the dot-com world. Technology. Innovation. Humor. Wit. Imagination. They all come together very nicely in Seattle Adventures.
