  Google's work culture has gained legendary status, earning both admiration and satire. Setting aside the mythology, Schmidt and Rosenberg attribute Google's success to its founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who created an environment attracting top-tier talent. 
  The company employs a rigorous hiring process to select exceptional candidates, seeking brilliance and well-rounded individuals. From executives to entry-level, everyone works in shared office spaces, fostering collaboration across roles and disciplines. Alongside the famed Google perks like pool tables and well-stocked kitchens, these amenities aim to encourage diverse interactions that spark collaboration and creative thinking. 
  Google's management structure is designed to facilitate the free-flowing expansion of ideas, resembling a web more than a pyramid. Emphasizing minimal hierarchy and bureaucratic procedures, employees are encouraged to take action and challenge ideas constructively. Every employee publicly lists personal objectives and key results to clarify goals and priorities.  
  Failure is viewed as a learning opportunity, promoting a proactive approach. 
  This management style leads to spontaneous and successful results.  
  For instance, when irrelevant ads surfaced on a Google search, Page addressed the issue promptly without calling a meeting. This approach allowed a group of engineers to devise a solution over the weekend, demonstrating the company's agility and responsiveness.

  The first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the period "before Tuskegee"—from 1890 to 1940 
   
   
   
  Long before the U.S. government began conducting secret radiation and germ-warfare experiments, and long before the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, medical professionals had introduced—and hotly debated the ethics of—the use of human subjects in medical experiments. In Subjected to Science, Susan Lederer provides the first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the earlier period, from 1890 to 1940. 
   
   
   
  Lederer offers detailed accounts of experiments—benign and otherwise—conducted on both healthy and unhealthy men, women, and children, including the yellow fever experiments (which ultimately became the subject of a Broadway play and Hollywood film), Udo Wile's "dental drill" experiments on insane patients, and Hideyo Noguchi's syphilis experiments, which involved injecting a number of healthy children and adults with the syphilis germ, luetin.
