Bill Gates

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 toward 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over, but even as governments around the world strive to put it behind us, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this?Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and in this book he lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another disaster like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world's foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, he first makes us understand the science of corona diseases. Then he helps us understand how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu.Here is a clarion call - strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.

En este revelador libro se explica cómo un sistema nervioso digital unifica todos los sistemas y procesos bajo una infraestructura común, poniendo en marcha caudales de información y a la empresa en condiciones de realizar notables progresos en materia de eficiencia, crecimiento y beneficios

In this book Bill Gates--who built Microsoft into one of the most successful companies in the world--provides his vision of what the future holds. He shows how, just as the personal computer revolutionized the way we work, the emerging technologies of the digital age will transform forever the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with one another.

Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft. He thinks that businesses use computers in the same way we use our nervous system. In this book, he describes his idea of a 'Digital Nervous System' - a way for companies to get as much as possible from all the money they have spent on computers.

Bill Gates he reveals how expanding technology is propelling us into an exciting new economic era: one which will transform lifestyles and the world of business. Your company probably has a sizeable investment in technology but is realising only twenty per cent of its potential benefit. Business @ the Speed of Thought introduces the concept of the digital nervous system which unites all systems and processes under one common infrastructure, allowing your company to make quantum leaps in efficiency, growth and profits. Using detailed tours of Microsoft and other major corporations, Gates demonstrates how integrated technology can transform any business by energising its three major elements: customer/partner relationships, employees and process, and offers practical suggestions on how this can be achieved. 'I have a simple but strong belief,' Gates writes. 'How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose. Business @ the Speed of Thought gives you the information to win'.

Una empresa es como un organismo vivo: necesita un sistema nervioso que lleve la información instantáneamente a cualquier miembro que la necesite. En este revelador libro se explica cómo un sistema nervioso digital unifica todos los sistemas y procesas bajo una infraestructura comun.
