Green@Google: Oliver Kuttner
Making cars more efficient is key to a real revolution in personal transportation. At the finals of the Progressive X Prize -- awarded to the most efficient practical car over 100mpg -- judges were surprised that the final winner was not an electric, but rather the liquid fuel powered Very Light Car from the Edison2 team. Edison2 is enhancing their design (and making an electric version) to generate the world's most efficient consumer car. Oliver Kuttner, CEO and Founder of Edison2 talks about what they did, and what they are doing to build such a car, with a focus on reducing vehicle weight. This includes their novel suspension which carries the car with far less weight and bulk than conventional systems, and talk about a variety of techniques on their plan to make a 4-seater that uses less energy than anything out there.

TylerFlorence Fresh: "The Anatomy of Flavor, One Simple Idea", Authors at Google
Tyler Florence stops by the Googleplex for a conversation with Executive Chef Liv Wu. Tyler's book can be found on Google Play: goo.gl . Tyler Florence shows off his bold side with a celebration of fresh everyday foods prepared in innovative and delicious ways. Using each fresh ingredient as a launching pad, Tyler builds innovative dishes flavor by flavor, showing you how to put easy-to-find ingredients to work in unexpected ways. Tyler's approach is grounded in the alchemy of ingredients, giving each recipe a twist by casting an unexpectedly delicious ingredient as its superhero. For those ingredients that call out to be celebrated%mdashthe first bunch of spring asparagus or the freshest scallops at the fish market%mdashTyler's recipes are chances for each flavor to stand out. Ripe summer blueberries transform a fris%eacutee salad when tossed with whipped blue cheese and candied pecans; fresh basil makes for a delicious ice cream paired with honey, balsamic vinegar, and sliced figs; winter limes and oranges are a zesty side for smoke-roasted chicken. Contrast is key, as Tyler plays with sweet, sour, tangy, tart, and spicy flavors to surprise the palate. Once you've tasted halibut with watermelon, peaches with prosciutto, and zucchini with grapefruit, you'll never look at your market the same way again. Filled with recipes that will surprise and delight everyone at your table, Fresh is Tyler's most showstopping, delicious book yet. About the Chef: Tyler Florence is a chef and television ...

Authors at Google: Ken Jennings | "Because I Said So!"
Don't cross your eyes or they'll stay like that! Feed a cold, starve a fever! Don't touch your Halloween candy until we get it checked out! Never run with scissors! Don't look in the microwave while it's running! This will go down on your permanent record! Is any of it true? If so, how true? Ken Jennings wants to find out if mother and father always know best. Yes, all those years you were told not to sit too close to the television (you'll hurt your eyes!) or swallow your gum (it stays in your stomach for seven years!) or crack your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our country's leading trivia guru. Jennings separates myth from fact to debunk a wide variety of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, sit up straight, don't talk to strangers, and so on. Armed with medical case histories, scientific findings, and even the occasional experiment on himself (or his kids), Jennings exposes countless examples of parental wisdom run amok. Whether you're a parent who wants to know what you can stop worrying about or a kid (of any age) looking to say, "I told you so," this is the anti--helicopter parenting book you've been waiting for. Jennings, a former Software Engineer, will also discuss topics such as the spread of information access and the rise of Watson. Bio: Ken Jennings broke game show records in 2004 with his unprecedented seventy-four game, $2.52 million victory streak on Jeopardy!. Jennings's book Brainiac, about his Jeopardy! adventures, was a ... From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 4095 79 ratings Time: 51:50 More in People & Blogs

"Oxfam: Ending poverty and hunger starts with you," Talks at Google with Kristin Davis and Ray Offenheiser There is enough food on the planet to feed us all, but one in eight of us will go to bed hungry tonight because our food system is broken International relief and development organization Oxfam has launched a campaign called GROW to build a better food system: one that sustainably feeds a growing population (estimated to reach nine billion by 2050) and empowers poor people to earn a living, feed their families, and thrive. And each one of us can make a difference, as voters, consumers and eaters! Raymond C. Offenheiser (President of Oxfam America) and Kristin Davis (Sex and the City and Oxfam Global Ambassador) highlight the crucial role of women in the fight against hunger and the importance of investing in women farmers. Watch and discover new ways of thinking about our food system, how it's intertwined with other global crises, and what we all can do to help ensure everyone on the planet has enough to eat, always.

Chefs At Google: Deb Perelman | "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook"
Deb Perelman loves to cook. She isn't a chef or a restaurant owner%mdashshe's never even waitressed. Cooking in her tiny Manhattan kitchen was, at least at first, for special occasions%mdashand, too often, an unnecessarily daunting venture. Deb found herself overwhelmed by the number of recipes available to her. Have you ever searched for the perfect birthday cake on Google? You'll get more than three million results. Where do you start? What if you pick a recipe that's downright bad? So Deb founded her award-winning blog, Smitten Kitchen, on the premise that cooking should be a pleasure, and that the results of your labor can%mdashand should%mdashbe delicious . . . every time. Deb is a firm believer that there are no bad cooks, just bad recipes. She has dedicated herself to creating and finding the best of the best and adapting the recipes for the everyday cook. The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is all about approachable, uncompromised home cooking. Here you'll find better uses for your favorite vegetables: asparagus blanketing a pizza; ratatouille dressing up a sandwich; cauliflower masquerading as pesto. These are recipes you'll bookmark and use so often they become your own, recipes you'll slip to a friend who wants to impress her new in-laws, and recipes with simple ingredients that yield amazing results in a minimum amount of time. Deb tells you her favorite summer cocktail; how to lose your fear of cooking for a crowd; and the essential items you need for your own kitchen. From salads and ...

Stephen Colbert | "America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't"
The uncut interview of Stephen Colbert's visit to Google's New York office. You can find Stephen's book on Google Play here: goo.gl . America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't is more of a coffee-table book, with large color pictures, and chapter photos that require the use of included 3-D glasses. It falls somewhere between I Am America and the Daily Show faux-textbooks America (The Book) and Earth (The Book), which used that organizing principle to their advantage. The premise follows the many apocalyptic views of the past four years, claiming America has gone off the rails and completely lost its way, and that only this book offers the true path to restore America's greatness. Which was never really gone, because it's America. The best idea America Again mocks is the one contained in its title. In particular, it skewers Newt Gingrich's 2011 book A Nation Like No Other, which claimed, "America's exceptional greatness is not based on that fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous%mdashand most generous%mdashnation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism." That is one preposterously arrogant whopper, which America Again exploits as an illogical chicken/egg position. The subtle difference between a beneficial amount of pride and the unchecked belief in exceptionalism is ripe for mockery. Stephen Colbert has been playing Stephen T. Colbert since 2005. In those seven years, he's built an impressive mythology to his character ... From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 128652 2385 ratings Time: 59:27 More in Comedy

Freddie Ravel - Tune UP to Success - Music Applied to Life, Artists at Google
Could there be more to the divine nature of Music than meets the ear? As Plato wrote; "Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything", the world's undisputed international language certainly has a bigger role to play than merely entertainment. Music is a multi-tasking power tool to help us navigate the complexity of the digital universe racing before us. When we apply Music's core elements of Melody, Harmony and Rhythm to everyday challenges, a powerful tool for conflict resolution, problem solving and peak performance emerge revealing the profound connective force of what Music is to what business does. Based on decades of entrepreneurial and corporate training, scientific research and directing, producing and performing with many of the greatest music icons of our time, Freddie will share highlights of his music-based protocol that reveals that the structure of music is the structure of success and a vital application in our complex and often overwhelming personal and professional lives. Melody as leadership and vision, harmony as teamwork and collaboration, rhythm as management of time and assets . . . and the integration of the three to manifest a magnificent score. Freddie Ravel has produced, performed and recorded across six continents with luminaries like Madonna, Prince, the Boston Pops, Earth, Wind and Fire, Al Jarreau and Carlos Santana, among others.

Ferriss uses cooking to explain "meta-learning," a step-by-step process that can be used to master anything, whether searing steak or shooting 3-pointers in basketball.
