New Releases by Bill Gates

In diesem dringenden, maßgeblichen Buch legt Bill Gates einen weitreichenden, praktischen - und zugänglichen - Plan dafür vor, wie die Welt die Treibhausgasemissionen rechtzeitig auf Null senken kann, um eine Klimakatastrophe zu verhindern. Seit einem Jahrzehnt untersucht Bill Gates die Ursachen und Auswirkungen des Klimawandels. Mithilfe von Experten aus Physik, Chemie, Biologie, Ingenieurwesen, Politikwissenschaft und Finanzwesen hat er sich auf das konzentriert, was getan werden muss, um die unserem Planeten bevorstehende Umweltkatastrophe zu verhindern. In diesem Buch erklärt er nicht nur, warum wir auf eine Netto-Null-Emission der Treibhausgase hinarbeiten müssen, sondern erläutert auch, was wir konkret tun müssen, um dieses überaus wichtige Ziel zu erreichen. Mit klarem Blick beschreibt er die Herausforderungen, vor denen wir stehen. Ausgehend von seinem Verständnis von Innovation und dem, was nötig ist, um neue Ideen auf den Markt zu bringen, beschreibt er die Bereiche, in denen die Technologie bereits zur Emissionsreduzierung beiträgt, wo und wie die aktuelle Technologie effektiver gestaltet werden kann, wo bahnbrechende Technologien benötigt werden und wer an diesen wesentlichen Innovationen arbeitet. Abschließend legt er einen konkreten, praktischen Plan zur Erreichung des Ziels vor, hinsichtlich der Emissionen auf Null zu kommen. Er schlägt nicht nur politische Maßnahmen vor, die Regierungen ergreifen sollten, sondern auch, was wir als Einzelne tun können, um unsere Regierung, unsere Arbeitgeber und uns selbst in diesem entscheidenden Unterfangen zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Wie Bill Gates deutlich macht, wird das Zielvon null Emissionen nicht einfach oder leicht zu erreichen sein, aber wenn wir den von ihm hier dargelegten Plan befolgen, ist es ein Ziel, das durchaus in unserer Reichweite liegt.

Bill Gates’ formulering af den opgave, som klimaforandringerne stiller os over for, er lige så enkel, som den er ambitiøs: Vi skal nedbringe den årlige globale udledning af drivhusgasser fra de nuværende 51 mia. tons til – nul! I denne vigtige og velunderbyggede bog fremlægger han en omfattende, praktisk – og letforståelig – plan for, hvordan verden kan nå dette mål i tide til at undgå en klimakatastrofe. Bill Gates har brugt et årti på at undersøge klimaforandringernes årsager og virkninger. Med hjælp fra eksperter inden for fysik, kemi, biologi, ingeniørvidenskab, statskundskab og økonomi har han fokuseret på, hvad der skal gøres for at standse planetens kurs mod en miljømæssig katastrofe. I bogen giver han os en skarpsynet beskrivelse af de udfordringer, vi står over for. Som teknologiudvikler har Bill Gates erfaret, hvordan ny teknologi og innovation kan forandre verden. Med afsæt i denne erfaring beskriver han de områder, hvor teknologien allerede bidrager til at reducere CO2-udledningerne, hvor og hvordan den nuværende teknologi kan bringes til at fungere mere effektivt, hvor der er brug for teknologiske gennembrud, og hvem der arbejder på disse helt nødvendige innovationer. Endelig fremlægger han en konkret, praktisk plan for at nå målet om at få CO2-udledningerne ned på nul, idet han ikke alene foreslår politiske målsætninger, som regeringer bør arbejde ud fra, men også hvad vi som enkeltpersoner kan gøre for at holde vores regeringer, vores arbejdsgivere og os selv ansvarlige i denne livsvigtige kamp for klimaet. Bill Gates gør det klart, at det ikke bliver let at få vores udledning af drivhusgasser helt ned på nul, men hvis vi følger den plan, han fremlægger her, er det faktisk et mål, der ligger inden for vores rækkevidde.

I denna angelägna bok beskriver Bill Gates en omfattande plan för hur världen kan uppnå nollutsläpp av växthusgaser i tid för att undvika en klimatkatastrof. Bill Gates har ägnat ett decennium åt att undersöka orsakerna till och effekterna av klimatförändringarna. Med hjälp av experter inom fysik, kemi, biologi, teknik, statsvetenskap och ekonomi har han fokuserat på vad som måste göras för att stoppa planetens kanande bana mot en miljökatastrof. I den här boken förklarar han inte bara varför vi måste arbeta mot nollutsläpp av växthusgaser, han berättar också vad vi behöver göra för att nå målet. Han ger oss en tydlig bild av utmaningarna. Med sin förståelse för innovation och vad som krävs för att sätta nya idéer i verket redogör han för områden där teknik redan hjälper till att minska utsläppen. Han beskriver hur den tekniken kan bli mer effektiv, men också var banbrytande teknik behövs och vilka som står bakom de här betydelsefulla innovationerna. Slutligen lägger han fram en konkret plan för att uppnå målet om nollutsläpp, och föreslår inte bara en politik för världens regeringar att anta, men också vad vi själva kan göra för att hålla vår regering, våra arbetsgivare och oss själva ansvariga för att lösa det här. Bill Gates förtydligar att det inte kommer att vara enkelt att uppnå nollutsläpp, men om vi följer hans plan i det här boken, så skulle det vara möjligt.

Ta książka to owoc dziesięciu lat badań nad przyczynami i skutkami zmian klimatycznych. Bill Gates w poszukiwania sposobów na powstrzymanie katastrofy ekologicznej zaangażował ekspertów w dziedzinach fizyki, chemii, biologii, inżynierii, politologii i finansów. Wniosek z ich badań jest jeden: musimy dążyć do zredukowania emisji gazów cieplarnianych, do zera! Jak tego dokonać? Bill Gates, specjalista od urzeczywistniania nowych idei, przede wszystkim przedstawia konkretny i praktyczny plan działania, wskazuje obszary, w których technologia już dziś pomaga ograniczać emisję gazów, wyjaśnia jak znane dziś technologie mogą być bardziej efektywne i gdzie niezbędne są nowe rozwiązania oraz kto już pracuje nad koniecznymi innowacjami. Proponuje strategie dla państw, ale i sposoby, w jakie obywatele mogą rozliczać rządy, pracodawców i siebie samych z postępów w tym projekcie kluczowym dla ratowania planety.

Ottimista globale, utopista impaziente, riluttante imperatore contemporaneo – per censo e per influenza –, Bill Gates dedica ormai da anni le sue risorse, economiche e intellettuali, a cercare di risolvere i problemi del mondo. Il padre di Microsoft Corporation si racconta in questa conversazione con Massimo Franco, ripercorrendo le tappe significative della sua vita e tratteggiando la sua filosofia di intellettuale organico della globalizazzione. Gates è il figlio naturale di quella Silicon Valley estesa fino a Seattle, vera costola della nostra modernità e della ricchezza americana: una realtà che ostenta una posa minimalista ma che è in grado di forgiare lo stile di vita, i modelli di lavoro e il modo di pensare di miliardi di persone. Durante la lunga intervista Bill Gates non smette mai di dondolarsi sulla sedia in velluto del Four Seasons di Parigi: è il suo modo personalissimo di concentrarsi, da quando era bambino. E con la sua voce nasale, quasi metallica, analizza le sfide dirimenti dei prossimi anni: dalle migrazioni alle crisi finanziarie, dalle guerre alle grandi emergenze umanitarie. Delinea le ragioni profonde delle sue numerose imprese, come la creazione della Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation e poi del Global Fund, una rete di miliardari mossi dalla determinazione a migliorare le sorti delle zone più svantaggiate del pianeta. Con le loro generose e a volte anche controverse iniziative vantano di aver salvato venti milioni di vite in quindici anni, scongiurando centinaia di migliaia di nuove infezioni e coinvolgendo governi e istituzioni sovranazionali. Sono un ottimista globale tocca questioni di assoluta rilevanza. Affronta problemi ineludibili. Interpreta i segni della contemporaneità e tenta di delineare le sfide strategiche dell''Occidente attraverso le riflessioni di uno dei personaggi più influenti del nostro tempo: un visionario dell''era digitale e un fuoriclasse del software che, con sforzi anche economici straordinari, sta provando a riprogrammare il destino del mondo.

As business men ourselves, we write this from a business perspective as well in hopes that you can actually apply some of the knowledge to your life in business and at home.

"A collection of direct quotes from Bill Gates on topics related to business, technology, Microsoft, philanthropy, and life"--Provided by publisher.

A heartfelt, deeply personal book that shines a bright light on the values and principles that Bill Gates Sr. has learned over a lifetime of “showing up”: lessons that he learned growing up during the Great Depression, and that he instilled in his children and continues to practice on the world stage as the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Through the course of several dozen narratives arranged in roughly chronological fashion, Gates introduces the people and experiences that influenced his thinking and guided his moral compass. Among them: the scoutmaster who taught him about teamwork and self reliance; and his famous son, Trey, whose curiosity and passion for computers and software led him to ultimately co-found Microsoft. Through revealing stories of his daughters, Kristi and Libby; his late wife, Mary, and his current wife, Mimi; and his work with Nelson Mandela and Jimmy Carter, among others, he discusses the importance of hard work, getting along, honoring a confidence, speaking out, and much more. Showing Up for Life translates one man’s experiences over fourscore years of living into an inspiring road map for readers everywhere. As Bill Gates Sr. puts it: "I’m 83 years old. Representing the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and everyone who is a part of it has given me the opportunity to see more of the world and its rich possibilities than most people ever do. I never imagined that I’d be working this late in life, or enjoying it so much."

Quand l''entrepreneur mondial numéro 1 donne sa vision du fonctionnement de l''entreprise de demain... Dans les dix années à venir, l''entreprise va connaître plus de changements qu''au cours du demi-siècle passé. Ces changements sont la conséquence d''une idée aussi simple que stupéfiante : la circulation de l''information numérisée. L''ère de l''information a commencé il y a près de trente ans mais, parce qu''aujourd''hui l''information circule essentiellement sous forme de papier, le fonctionnement de l''entreprise n''a pas encore vraiment changé. Maintenant, pour la première fois, toutes sortes d''informations - des chiffres, du texte, du son, des images - peuvent être numérisées et enregistrées, traitées et transmises par des ordinateurs. Pour la première fois, le matériel informatique et les logiciels sont accessibles à tous. D''ici à dix ans, tout le monde utilisera des ordinateurs personnels au bureau et à la maison, tout le monde sera relié à Internet. D''ici à dix ans, tout sera numérique. Pour prospérer à l''âge du tout-numérique, l''entreprise doit se doter d''une nouvelle infrastructure, une sorte de système nerveux. Le but de ce livre est de décrire ce système nerveux - et de montrer comment il va transformer le monde du travail. Bill Gates Après La Route du futur, un livre destiné à devenir l''ouvrage de référence sur l''entreprise du troisième millénaire.
