#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Energizing Our World The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming, while their abundant energy supports contemporary civilization. Production and CO2 emissions are both increasing. We use fossil fuels to generate 84% of the world's energy, including electricity. Instead, we may create power with no CO2 emissions and then extend the usage of clean electricity to replace combustion energy. We can solve energy poverty and avert climate disaster by producing abundant, inexpensive, 24-hour electric energy from fission. Everything should be electrified. Cars, trucks, and trains can all be powered by electricity. It has the potential to become the energy source for a worldwide clean economy. Make hydrogen from water and fuels for large vehicles and planes. Electrify the building's heating system. Allow for the development of new, zero-emission sectors such as electrolytic steel manufacturing. The Future of Fusion Energy shows how physical rules and the Earth's energy resources drive the present fusion effort, which is nearing its end. ITER, the world's largest research project and the world's largest fusion reactor, is approaching completion. Its success might spark global competition to build a power plant, while failure could push fusion back by decades. To that aim, this book describes how the results of ITER may be applied to create an economically viable power plant, as well as some of the other alternative fusion concepts. In this book, you'll discover: what is nuclear fusion and why does it matter? how fusion is different from fission? How could nuclear fusion eventually turn on the light in the house? why is the DOE's forthcoming announcement about a fusion reaction resulting in net energy gain important? Where does fusion take place? What are the next steps?

“Eileen delivers a new perspective on the burnout crisis with humor, good sense, and unique ideas on how to manage our brains. I owe my daily well-being to her. Keep this book at your side to help you glide through your workday.” —Marcia Reynolds, PsyD, author of The Discomfort Zone It's official. For the first time, the World Health Organization has classified burnout as a health problem. Renowned motivational speaker Eileen McDargh proposes that to tackle it, we must learn to break out of energy-draining thoughts and behaviors. Resilience, she argues, is strictly a matter of energy management--by better managing your energy, you can both build resiliency and overcome burnout. Breakthrough happens when our energy is consciously distributed to what matters most in our lives. So after a short survey that will tell you where you fit in a burnout and resiliency profile, McDargh helps pinpoint the causes of your burnout and examine the energy demands that keep you from refueling and recharging. She provides an in-depth energy analysis and gives you the keys to master the four dimensions that can give you a resilience breakthrough: head, heart, hands, and humor. McDargh guides the reader through the process of identifying energy drains and implementing strategies for handling them, whatever phase of life you are in. Her intention is to help you not only to successfully manage work and life demands but also make even larger strides in understanding how to put together a life by design and not by default.

It's become the norm to complain that we're always tired. In Dr. Holly Phi llips' Exhaustion Solution, Dr. Holly aims to end this accepted state of exhaustion and send a message to readers that they do not have to be drained of energy just because they have a demanding job, a family, or an active social life—or all three. She also explains the insidious nature of fatigue, educating readers on the havoc that persistent tiredness wreaks on the body and mind, from weight gain and cognitive impairment to even a higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Dr. Holly's passion for the subject stems from the quest to cure her own constant weariness—which she struggled with for more than 20 years—as well as the countless complaints of chronic tiredness she hears from patients each day in her internal medicine practice. While a few readers might find a link between their fatigue and a medical condition such as chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, Dr. Holly knows that many more will discover that diet, exercise, and sleep habits are contributing to their lack of energy. This guide will help readers understand their exhaustion, rule out any underlying illnesses, correct any allergies or hormonal issues that may be contributing to extreme tiredness, and incorporate lifestyle factors and alternative therapies that will improve overall energy. Clear, comprehensive, and practical, Dr. Holly Phillips' Exhaustion Solution shines a bright light on an issue many people have simply accepted—but that they don't have to any longer.

A comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society throughout history, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. "I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next 'Star Wars' movie. In his latest book, Energy and Civilization: A History, he goes deep and broad to explain how innovations in humans' ability to turn energy into heat, light, and motion have been a driving force behind our cultural and economic progress over the past 10,000 years. —Bill Gates, Gates Notes, Best Books of the Year Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows—ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity—for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts—from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time.

Agile is being adopted within every type of organization across the world. It is no longer used specifically for software development. This book shows how anyone can adopt the systems of an agile organization within their organization. The book contains a blueprint on how to start a transformation initiative. Starting with a high-level overview of what companies are seeking to achieve with a transformation platform, the book describes the common approaches used in today’s business world. The book’s discussion includes how common themes between the different types of transformation platforms are more a direct result of five cultural business processes. Currently, there are three main transformation platforms practiced within the business world: Lean Six-Sigma, Lean, and Agile. After a brief comparison showing the similarities and differences of these platforms, the book presents a blueprint for a successful Agile Transformation within any type of organization by focusing on five common cultural processes. The five cultural business processes discussed are decision making, conflict resolution, rewards and recognition, project management, and strategic deployment. In this book, each detailed discussion of the cultural business process includes real-life examples showing the agile systems and how they are applied, sustained, and the value they drive. The tour de force for the book is a theory that for any transformation to succeed, organizations need to change their values and principles in these business cultural processes to align with the value and principles of the transformation platform. Regardless of the platform, successful transformations only give the company the value they are seeking when the values and principles of the organization change. This usually means leaders need to change how they lead throughout the organization from the most senior level to front-line leaders. Essentially, these five cultural processes influence peoples’ behaviors more than the application of any transformation system or tactics within the transformation platforms.
