Green@Google: Bill Wallauer, Photography for Disneynature movie "Chimpanzee"
"Bill Wallauer, the Jane Goodall Institute's wildlife cameraman and research videographer, will share stories and answer questions about his behind-the-scenes experience working in the field filming Disneynature's newest True-Life Adventure, Chimpanzee. Capturing footage was no easy task. It involved living in the remote Africa forest on and off for three years, dangling on 3'x3' platform 100 feet up in the trees, and avoiding everything from African bees to deadly rhino vipers. Chimpanzee opens in theaters nationwide on April 20. For every moviegoer who sees Chimpanzee during opening week, Disneynature will make a donation to the Jane Goodall Institute to protect chimpanzees today and tomorrow. Bill offers a unique and fascinating view of life among wild chimpanzees. For 15 years, Bill spent just about every day following the wild chimpanzees of Gombe National Park in Tanzania, capturing the intimate details of their daily life. Most recently, he worked as principal photography for Chimpanzee. Today, Bill is a sought-after speaker for adults and youth. His infectious personality, great stories and chimpanzee multimedia presentation help audiences understand the chimpanzees' behavior and emotional capacity, and the similarities and differences between humans and chimps. Bill's passion for the chimps he knows so intimately truly makes him the Jane Goodall Institute's "Chimp Champion."

Leonard Mlodinow, "Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior", Authors at Google
Every aspect of our mental lives plays out in two versions: one conscious, which we are constantly aware of, and the other unconscious, which remains hidden from us. Over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the unconscious, or subliminal, workings of the mind. This explosion of research has led to a sea change in our understanding of how the mind affects the way we live. As a result, scientists are becoming increasingly convinced that how we experience the world--our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment--is largely driven by the mind's subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed.

Patrick Awuah:: "Fostering Innovation as the Key to Lasting Change in Africa", Talks at Google
After a successful career at Microsoft, Patrick looked back to his native Ghana and decided that the ills of the country could only by solved by educating the next generation of business and government leaders, providing them with training in critical thinking and ethics that the current generation lacked. To put his plan into action, he founded Ashesi University in Accra, West Africa's first liberal arts school. Now in its 10th year, Ashesi empowers young Africans to develop the motivation and the skills they need to create their own solutions to Africa's challenges. Ashesi students are known worldwide for applying their computer science and business skills in innovative ways to address local challenges. Nearly all Ashesi graduates have chosen to stay in Africa (over 95%), where they are known for ethical integrity and for their innovative and entrepreneurial talents.

"Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden--from 9/11 to Abbottabad" Here are riveting new details of bin Laden's flight after the crushing defeat of the Taliban to Tora Bora, where American forces came startlingly close to capturing him; his grim, Spartan life in hiding; and his struggle to maintain control of al-Qaeda even as American drones systematically picked off his key lieutenants. Half a world away, CIA analysts haunted by the intelligence failures that led to 9/11 and the WMD fiasco pored over the tiniest of clues before homing in on the man they called "the Kuwaiti"--who led them to a peculiar building with twelve-foot-high walls and security cameras less than a mile from a Pakistani military academy. This was the courier who would unwittingly steer them to bin Laden, now a prisoner of his own making but still plotting to devastate the United States. Bergen takes us inside the Situation Room, where President Obama considers the COAs (courses of action) presented by his war council and receives conflicting advice from his top advisors before deciding to risk the raid that would change history--and then inside the Joint Special Operations Command, whose "secret warriors," the SEALs, would execute Operation Neptune Spear. From the moment two Black Hawks take off from Afghanistan until bin Laden utters his last words, Manhunt reads like a thriller. Based on exhaustive research and unprecedented access to White House officials, CIA analysts, Pakistani intelligence ... From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 853 23 ratings Time: 58:15 More in Howto & Style

Former Googler Julie Clow visited Google on May 16, 2012 to talk about her book The Work Revolution: Freedom and Excellence for All. About the book: We live in a new age of global companies, hyper-access to information, and accessibility to tools that enable us to bring any idea life. Strangely, our workplaces are lagging behind the promise of this open and collaborative world. Most organizations are rule-based, top-down, dreary environments optimized for conformity and little else. The Work Revolution creates a compelling portrait of a different kind of work. "I believe freedom in the workplace is worth fighting for and every person and every organization can be excellent." Julie Clow articulates the rules we follow today in our work force, the reasons they no longer work, and what we can do instead. The Work Revolution deconstructs the magic behind thriving, liberated organizations (such as Google) into clear principles that any individual, leader, and organization can adopt to create sustainable and engaging lives. The Work Revolution... - Provides actionable changes anyone can make, regardless of where they work, to create a more sustainable work-life blend. - Details concrete ways to influence existing organizations to change. - Guides leaders to make tangible changes in their teams to enable greater autonomy and impact. - Outlines organizational culture principles that support and nurture high-performance and healthy environments, providing clear options for ...
