Elon Musk fait partie de ceux qui changent les règles du jeu. Largement considéré comme le plus grand industriel du moment, il porte l'innovation à des niveaux rarement atteints au point d'avoir servi de modèle pour Tony Stark, alias Iron Man. À 44 ans, il a monté en quelques années une entreprise, Tesla, qui révolutionne l'industrie automobile, une autre, SpaceX, qui concurrence Arianespace. Il a auparavant bouleversé le marché des paiements avec PayPal. Son objectif ultime : coloniser Mars.

So how does he do it? Does Elon Musk have some kind of superpower? Does he know something you don't? Is it possible for someone like you to make the kind of waves in history that this South African-born entrepreneur did? Actually, yes. There is no special potion to conjure, no magic spell to recite, no rare crystal one must attain to follow in Musk's footsteps. All it really takes is determination, dedication to a goal, and recognizing and accepting personal limitations.

When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. The family was starving, and they could hardly find money for food, let alone school fees. Forced to drop out, William began to explore the science books in his village library. There, he came up with an idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill.

“Highly recommended for high school and ambitious middle school readers.” (School Library Journal)

"A valuable addition to STEM-themed collections." (VOYA)

An in-depth look into the extraordinary life of the world’s most important entrepreneur, Elon Musk

A fascinating and easily accessible young listeners’ adaptation of Ashlee Vance’s New York Times best-selling Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. 

The version for adults has been praised as “riveting” (The Financial Times), “spirited” (The Wall Street Journal), and “masterful” (Vice). Now younger listeners can hear about this innovative leader who is revolutionizing three industries at once: space, automotive, and energy.

There are few people in history who could match Elon Musk’s relentless drive and vision. A modern combination of famous inventors and industrialists like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs, Elon is the man behind companies such as SpaceX, Tesla Motors, SolarCity, and PayPal that are transforming the way we live.

With exclusive access to Elon, his family, and his friends, this book traces Elon’s journey from a kid in South Africa to a young man in the United States, his dramatic technical inventions, and his world-changing companies. Elon has sparked new levels of innovation in the world, and this book gives young listeners a detailed but fast-paced look at his story.

Awesome book!

I listened to this from start to finish while traveling and time really flew by. The things Elon achieved are awesome, but knowing all he had to go through makes it even more inspiring. The narrator also did a pretty good job, making this book easy to listen to.
