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.

An environmental expert unleashes a scientific, fact-based broadside against eco-alarmism and the excesses of the left, arguing that climate change and other environmental problems are real but not apocalyptic and require practical, not radical, solutions.Many environmentalists claim the world as we know it will soon come to an end unless we radically change how we live our lives. They demand we stop eating meat, ban plastics, and significantly reduce how much we drive and fly.  Climate change is real, says Michael Shellenberger in Apocalypse Never, but itΓÇÖs not the end of the world. It is not even our most serious environmental problem. Most environmental trends, including population, pollution, and resource use, are all going in the right direction.The left profits from hyping climate change as apocalypse while opposing obvious solutions. Schemes like ΓÇ£The Green New DealΓÇ¥ would transfer wealth to well-connected elites, raise energy costs, and hurt wildlife.Poverty, not prosperity, is the real enemy of the environment. We use can produce more food using less land and water, move from wood to coal to natural gas to nuclear, and safely capture and contain plastic waste. But all of that will require standing up to the eco-alarmism in the way of environmental protection.

Depression er den mest udbredte psykiske lidelse på verdensplan. I En fremtid uden fremtid argumenterer Mikkel Krause Frantzen for, at man kan kende et samfund på dets sygdomme, og viser, hvordan depressionen peger på en række kriser i tiden: gældskrise, det konkurrencestyrede arbejdsmarked, krav om individuel lykke og selvoptimering. Med konstateringen af, at den psykiske lidelse ikke er den enkeltes problem, men vores fælles problem, udfolder Frantzen en kulturkritisk samtidsdiagnose og inddrager en række bøger, film og kunstværker som alternativ forestillingshorisont. Mikkel Krause Frantzen (f.1983) Ph.d. i Litteraturvidenskab fra Københavns Universitet, boganmelder på Dagbladet Politiken og ansat som postdoc ved Aalborg Universitet. Han har tidligere udgivet Lars Skinnebach – en monografi (Arena, 2013). Anmeldelser ”Relevant og stimulerende læsning for enhver, der er interesseret i sit samfund” – Weekendavisen "Mikkel Frantzens analyse af depressionen i bogen ’En fremtid uden fremtid’ er en af de mest vellykkede, vi har set. " – Information "Glimrende… Bogen bør læses af alle ansatte i psykiatrien i Danmark og være pensum for uddannelsen af alle psykiatere og psykologer, der fortsat hårdnakket tror på, at depression skyldes kemiske ubalancer i hjernen." ♥♥♥♥ – Politiken

Adventure, shipwreck, storms and survival on the high seas. 'Superb ... the greatest survival story of all time' Sir Chris Bonington

Hvordan kunne vikingerne sejle helt til Amerika? Hvorfor var det lige i 1400-1500-tallet, at vi europæere for alvor opdagede resten af verden? Bogen fortæller om sejlads på verdenshavene fra vikingetiden til i dag. Og den viser, hvordan klimaet har spillet en væsentlig rolle for de store opdagelser.Kom med ind i en verden af fantastiske opdagelser og søeventyr og mød de sejlivede matroser og kaptajner, der sejlede på de syv verdenshave. I en kronologisk gennemgang fortæller forfatteren om opdagelsesrejserne, og han sammenfatter vejr, skibe og resultater over en periode på 1.000 år: fra vikingernes togter til Grønland og Vinland over de store opdagelsesrejser fra 1400-tallet og frem til 1900-tallet. Herunder beskrives trekantshandelen i 1700-tallet samt de fuldriggede klipperes kapsejlads på tværs af oceanerne i 1800-tallet.Bogens udgangspunkt er de klimamæssige udfordringer og muligheder, der gennem tiden har øget eller vanskeliggjort sejladsen. Bl.a. skyldes de store opdagelsesrejser i 14-1500-tallet, at der netop i denne periode var særligt gunstige vilkår for sejladsen – vejrforhold, som afveg ganske væsentligt fra dem, vi kender i dag.Fokus er på de sørejser og rejsende, der har skabt et gennembrud i udforskningen af havene: vikingerne, Vasco da Gama, Christoffer Columbus, Fernando de Magellan, James Cook, Vitus Bering og mange flere. Det er spændende læsning for alle historie- og sejlinteresserede – samt for alle, der interesserer sig for vejr og vind og for, hvordan klimaet påvirker vores daglige liv.Svend Albrechtsen er sejlsportsmand og pensioneret søofficer. Efter afslutningen på sin militære karriere har han brugt sin viden og erfaring – som både pilot, skibsfører og sejlsportsmand – på at udbrede kendskabet til forholdene på havet gennem sit forfatterskab og en omfattende foredragsvirksomhed

Følg med Kristian på sporet af de opdagelsesrejsende, der fandt Amerika, først nåede Sydpolen, besteg verdens højeste bjerg – og ned på bunden af havet!I flere hundrede år er opdagelsesrejsende draget mod verdens fjerneste afkroge uden at vide, hvad der ventede dem. Med mod og nysgerrighed kortlagde de den verden, vi kender i dag, og sikrede sig dermed en plads i historiebøgerne. Men hvem var de egentlig – de eventyrlystne opdagelsesrejsende, der satte sig for at finde ud af, om Jorden var rund, sejlede højt mod nord for at undersøge de isfyldte riger, drog ned på havets bund for at undersøge livet på mange kilometers dybde, løb om kap mod Sydpolen og satte liv og lemmer på spil i kampen om at blive de første på toppen af verdens højeste bjerg?I Kristian på sporet af opdagelsesrejsende skal vi høre om alt fra de vikinger, der drog af sted på togt og ved et tilfælde fandt Grønland, om de mange kapløb der har været om at nå verdens sydligste og nordligste punkter, verdens top og havets bund – og helt frem til i dag, hvor de opdagelsesrejsende med lige så stort mod sætter kursen ud i galaksen for at besøge andre planeter.Kristian på sporet af opdagelsesrejsende er femte bind i Kristian Gintbergs faktaserie for børn, hvori Kristian tager ud for at undersøge stort og småt sammen med læserne. Det skal være sjovt at lære, det skal være spændende at suge ny viden til sig. Derfor tager Kristian ud i verden med sit kamera om halsen, sin rygsæk på ryggen og sin nysgerrighed som rejseledsager og opdager alverdens fænomener, steder og mennesker. Hvert opslag dækker et emne, formidlet i et lettilgængeligt sprog og illustreret både faktuelt og utrolig sjovt af Franck Wagnersens humoristiske streg.

It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake - and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.'All we need is the will to do so.'

I hope it is widely read and acted on' Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of PeaceThe Future We Choose is a passionate call to arms, written by former UN Secretary for Climate Christiana Figures and Tom Rivett-Carnac, her UN political strategist.

The author of the beloved No.1 bestseller The Shepherd's Life returns with a stirring history of family, loss and the land over three generations on a Lake District farm'I can't imagine anyone starting to read English Pastoral and not being eager to read it all at once, as I did, and not being moved by the life and the landscape Rebanks describes so well. I was thrilled by it' Philip Pullman As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song. English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future. This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.
