Book Review by: Louidger    

Original Author: David A. Vise & Mark Malseed
This abstract was translated from Google story
Download the entire Web on his computer, is the ambition to Larry before he founded Google with his friend Sergey Brin. The
two young men, early twenties, attending Stanford University recognized as a true incubator of computer engineering. Larry and Sergey are the number they are working on their doctoral theses. This happens there barely twelve years, in 1996. After analysing the links converging to the websites they develop a scholarly mathematical formula called PageRank to determine the relevance and importance of those links. This leads to the classification system of Web pages according to the formula PageRank as told in this excellent book by journalist and writer David A. Vise assisted by Mark Malseed. The history of Google is already part of the legend. Hence the interest of the book Google story. The invention of this search engine is described by many as the most important invention since the printing of Guttenberg. Some books you fall from his hands. Others you attach your heart. This is the case of the latter. It reads the fabulous story of two American students, their foreign roots, their bond of friendship, the importance of their education - ground conducive to the emergence and development of their genius - any fingerprint and computer ''computers, all of that will converge to the birth of a myth, the myth Google now at the heart of our lives.
