NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this urgent, singularly 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 an irreversible climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help and guidance of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science and finance, he has focused on exactly what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only gathers together all the information we need to fully grasp how important it is that we work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases but also details exactly what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. 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 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 by following the guidelines he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Successful Leaders Depend on Breakthroughs to Stay CompetitiveBreakthrough Leadership explores the relationship between breakthroughs and leadership, providing key insights into the intricate connection between the two.Successful organizations depend on great leadership. Your leadership success increasingly depends on your ability to adapt to changing times, your ability to evolve to embrace new dynamics, as well as your own ongoing personal transformation as a leader."e;Think of the transformation as a process of buildup followed by breakthrough"e; - Jim C. Collins, author "e;Good to Great"e;Using an interview format, Breakthrough Leadership is a conversation with 6 successful business leaders from completely different industries. Each author highlights the common qualities in both breakthroughs and leadership, as well as their own unique point of view and experiences.Insights shared include: - Great leaders know they need to transform themselves first before they can lead others. - Breakthroughs can happen when you are trying really hard to achieve them, and when you aren't trying at all. - Breakthroughs can be tiny, micro events and they can be monumental ones that are hard won and life changing.The authors: Frederica A. Peterson, MA Henry M. Lee, Esq. Marian S. White Steven Griswold, CHRS Sue Anne Dunlevie Wei Houng

Porous Media: Fluid Transport and Pore Structure presents relevant data on the role of pore structure in terms of transport phenomena in pore spaces. The information is then applied to the interpretation of various experiments and results of model calculations. This book emphasizes the discussion of ""flow through porous media"" in terms of interactions among the three main factors. These factors are transport phenomena, interfacial effects, and pore structure. An introductory chapter opens the text and presents some of the basic concepts and terms that will be encountered all throughout. Chapters 2 to 4 focus on the important foundations of the physical phenomena as applied in the pore space of porous media. These foundations are capillarity, pore structure, and single phase flow and diffusion. Chapters 5 to 7 discuss more in detail the different applications of pore structure to various operations and processes. Some of the concepts covered in this part of the book include flow and/or diffusion through a porous medium, simultaneous flow of immiscible fluids and immiscible displacement, and miscible displacement and hydrodynamic dispersion. This book is a good reference to students, scientists, and engineers in the field of chemistry, physics, and biology.
