Jimmy Wales and Wikipedia

by Susan Meyer

Born in Huntsville, Alabama, no one expected that Jimmy Wales would go on to create one of the most successful and widely-used Web sites in history: Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the product of a lot of hard work. It had its ups and downs and its failures and successes before becoming the Internet phenomenon it is today. This book details the journey, from the early life of Jimmy Wales through the height of Wikipedia's success.
