In this urgent and authoritative work, Bill Gates presents a practical and accessible plan to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions and avert climate catastrophe. Drawing on a decade of research into climate change, Gates collaborates with experts across various fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, to outline the necessary actions to halt the planet's environmental decline. He emphasizes the importance of striving for net-zero emissions and provides a candid overview of the challenges ahead. Leveraging his insights into innovation, Gates highlights areas where technology is already contributing to emissions reduction, identifies where improvements can be made, and points out the need for breakthrough technologies and the innovators behind them. He offers a concrete plan for reaching zero emissions, recommending policies for governments and actions individuals can take to hold themselves and their institutions accountable. Gates underscores that while the path to zero emissions will be complex and demanding, it is an achievable goal if we adhere to the outlined strategy.

"Eight years ago they found the body buried on the moor. They were certain that it was one of Jerome Monk's teengage victims. Which left two more to find. But the search ended badly, with Monk safely behind bars, the momentum faltered. For forensics expert David Hunter and the rest of the recovery team, life moved on. And the dead were left undisturbed. But now a nightmare scenario unfurls. Monk has escaped and seems to be targeting anyone involved in that original ill-fated operation.

Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-forties denizens of Manhattan’s SoHo, nearing the apogee of committed careers in the arts—he a dealer, she an editor. With a spacious loft, a college-age daughter in Boston, and lively friends, they are admirable, enviable contemporary urbanites with every reason, it seems, to be happy. Then Rebecca’s much younger look-alike brother, Ethan (known in thefamily as Mizzy, “the mistake”), shows up for a visit. A beautiful, beguiling twenty-three-year-old with a history of drug problems, Mizzy is wayward, at loose ends, looking for direction. And in his presence, Peter finds himself questioning his artists, their work, his career—the entire world he has so carefully constructed.Like his legendary, Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, The Hours, Michael Cunningham’s masterly new novel is a heartbreaking look at the way we live now. Full of shocks and aftershocks, it makes us think and feel deeply about the uses and meaning of beauty and the place of love in our lives.<
