The Google Story is the definitive account of the populist media company powered by the world’s most advanced technology that in a few short years has revolutionized access to information about everything for everybody everywhere.

In 1998, Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words, “change the world” through a search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free.

While the company has done exactly that in more than one hundred languages, Google’s quest continues as it seeks to add millions of library books, television broadcasts, and more to its searchable database.

Readers will learn about the amazing business acumen and computer wizardry that started the company on its astonishing course; the secret network of computers delivering lightning-fast search results; the unorthodox approach that has enabled it to challenge Microsoft’s dominance and shake up Wall Street. Even as it rides high, Google wrestles with difficult choices that will enable it to continue expanding while sustaining the guiding vision of its founders’ mantra: DO NO EVIL."]]> 105508 3.58 929 178 2005 180994 0802139515 9780802139511 28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172496683m/180994.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172496683s/180994.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/180994.The_Bureau_and_the_Mole_The_Unmasking_of_Robert_Philip_Hanssen_the_Most_Dangerous_Double_Agent_in_FBI_History 3.34 109 105508 3.58 929 178 2001 199959 0020081626 9780020081623 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199959.Eagle_on_the_Street_Based_on_the_Pulitzer_Prize_Winning_Account_of_the_Sec_s_Battle_With_Wall_Street 3.50 4 105508 3.58 929 178 40651 4.22 1302 288 1991 526121 1582615942 9781582615943 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175542419m/526121.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175542419s/526121.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/526121.Sweet_Redemption_How_Gary_Williams_and_Maryland_Beat_Death_and_Despair_to_Win_the_NCAA_Basketball_Championship 4.00 3 210901 3.88 8 3 105508 3.58 929 178 2002 4525108 5553329310 9785553329310 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4525108.Eagle_on_the_Street_24_95 0.0 0 105508 3.58 929 178 1994 7326963 0739321609 9780739321607 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7326963-the-google-story 0.0 0 105508 3.58 929 178
