Decades after the fall of the Third Reich, it feels impossible to understand how Adolf Hitler, the tyrant who orchestrated one of the largest genocides in human history, could ever have risen to power in a democratic country. So how did it happen, and could it happen again? Alex Gendler and Anthony Hazard dive into the history and circumstances that allowed Hitler to become Führer of Germany.

Is there more than one universe? According to current cosmology, our entire gigantic universe is only one of innumerable universes, each universe like one tiny bubble in a limitless ocean of universes. It's called a 'multiverse' and it radically expands the size of reality.

Amy Herman: "Visual Intelligence" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google     2016年6月22日
Amy Herman visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss her book "Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life".
In her seminar, the Art of Perception, Herman has trained experts from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their “visual intelligence,” a set of skills we all possess but few of us know how to use properly. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to recognize the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day.
Before joining Thirteen/WNET.ORG as Director of Educational Development in 2007, Amy Herman was the Head of Education at The Frick Collection for over ten years, where she oversaw all of the Collection’s educational collaborations and community initiatives. She holds a BA in International Affairs from Lafayette College, a JD from the National Law Center, George Washington University, and an MA in Art History from Hunter College.

Dominic Powlesland: "Archaeological Landscapes and Digital Geography" | ...

source: Talks at Google     2016年6月13日
Dominic Powlesland, director of the Landscape Research Centre in Yorkshire, visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss the LRC's work.
Over the last 26 years, the LRC has earned an international reputation for research into the application of computing in field archaeology, large scale excavation and recording methodologies, and for the development of new approaches to data recording, integration and publication. They now maintain the most comprehensive digital archaeological landscape archive in the world, available over the web.
Powlesland discusses the evolution of archaeological computing for research and publication: was it worth it? has it changed the past? could it have been done without the silicon chip?

Vicki Abeles: "Beyond Measure" | Talks at Google

Vicki Abeles' award-winning 2010 documentary "Race to Nowhere" brought the issue of overstressed students to thousands of schools across the country, triggering a debate on education in the US. Abeles returns with a movie and book on possible solutions: "Beyond Measure". This talk will be a source of inspiration and action for parents, educators and anyone concerned with how we are educating our students.
