Google and Its Products

Do you want to really understand Google, the company?

Do you really want to understand its’ products?

Larry Page, Sergey Brin, well known as Google’s founders – but who are they really?

What about Google.org – the almost secret division which gives away millions of dollars?

In this 187 page book (A4 sized and fully colour illustrated), author Alun Hill explains the company’s history, its’ people, its’ products – and takes a peek inside its’ future – a future that will affect everyone of us.

There are separate chapters on Gmail, Search, Google News, Google Product Search, Google Groups, Google Maps, Google Video, Google Desktop, Picasa, SketchUp, Google Translate and Google Chrome.

We also look at allegations of Google Censorship and the criticisms of the company, along with a chapter looking at Google’s presence in China.

There’s revelations of the Google logo, their ventures – and, of course, on the Googlebot – their very own search spider.

We finish with a chapter touring their offices – the “Googleplex”.

For scholars, businesses looking to use Google to their best advantage and to researchers of history and the internet alike, this is 187 pages of information, written by experts and completely up to date as at mid December 2009.

The book is colour photo illustrated.
