Blending investigative depth with engaging visuals, it reveals how two Stanford students transformed a simple idea into a global tech powerhouse, making this a must-read for young adults and professionals eager to understand innovation’s real-world impact. ## Description In Google It, award-winning investigative reporter Anna Crowley Redding shares an inspiring story of innovation, personal and intellectual bravery, and most importantly, of shooting for the moon in order to change the world. Think. Invent. Organize. Share. Don't be evil. And change the world. Larry Page and Sergey Brin started out as two Stanford college students with a wild idea: They were going to organize the world's information. From that one deceptively simple goal, they created one of the most influential and innovative companies in the world. The word "google" has even entered our vocabulary as a verb. Now, find out the true history of Google--from its humble beginnings as a thesis project made out of "borrowed" hardware and discount toys through its revolution of the world's relationship with technology to a brief glimpse of where they might take us next. Review: inspires innovators - A visiting friend’s twelve-year-old son picked this book up from my couch and became immediately absorbed in it. He had been watching a lot of videos over the summer, so my friend was thrilled that he voluntarily picked up a book. He was partway through when it was time to leave, so I just let him take my copy, then bought another so I could finish reading it. I found the stories behind various Google products – Google News, Doodle, and Maps – fascinating, and the photos and graphics kept the information lively. Some of my favorite parts of the book were the brief, but hilarious digressions (check out the “shag carpet” aside in chapter 5). The best thing about this book is the way it shows kids that there’s a path forward for innovators and dreamers! Review: Beautiful - Beautifully written. Inspirational. ## Features - Author: Redding, Anna Crowley - Language: english - Binding Type: paperback - Genre: Science & technology: general interest (Children's - Number of pages: 240 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #120,436 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #55 in Biographies for Young Adults #764 in Science & Technology Books for Young Adults #1,345 in Children's Books on Computers & Technology | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 66 Reviews | ## Images ![Google It: A History of Google - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FnsT1M28L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ inspires innovators *by A***E on 1 October 2018* A visiting friend’s twelve-year-old son picked this book up from my couch and became immediately absorbed in it.
