Warren and Bill : Gates, Buffett, and the friendship that changed the world / by McCarten, Anthony,1961-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Few friendships have had such far-reaching implications for the world -- from finance to technology to philanthropy -- than that between Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. After meeting at a party in 1991, the two played cards and golf, shared jokes, swapped trade secrets, ate junk food, talked and listened. Their growing friendship would impact each man and lead to change on a grander scale, culminating in the development of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which holds nearly $50 billion in assets. How did such an unusual union blossom? In what ways specifically did each man begin to influence the other? How did these two avid wealth accumulators jointly decide to address some of the world's most critical problems -- poverty, disease, inequality -- by giving their wealth away? And what, finally, does their giga-wealthy partnership mean for the rest of us in an age of great wealth -- and great inequality? This book gives the fullest account yet of this extraordinary relationship and explores how it has transformed these two men -- and is changing the world for the better for all of us."--

How to avoid a climate disaster : the solutions we have and the breakthroughs we need / by Gates, Bill,1955-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Bill Gates shares what he's learned in more than a decade of studying climate change and investing in innovations to address the problems, and sets out a vision for how the world can build the tools it needs to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions. Bill Gates explains why he cares so deeply about climate change and what makes him optimistic that the world can avoid the most dire effects of the climate crisis. Gates says, "We can work on a local, national, and global level to build the technologies, businesses, and industries to avoid the worst impacts of climate change." His interest in climate change is a natural outgrowth of the efforts by his foundation to reduce poverty and disease. Climate change, according to Gates, will have the biggest impact on the people who have done the least to cause it. As a technologist, he has seen firsthand how innovation can change the world. By investing in research, inventing new technologies, and by deploying them quickly at large scale, Gates believes climate change can be addressed in meaningful ways. According to Gates, "to prevent the worst effects of climate change, we have to get to net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases. This problem is urgent, and the debate is complex, but I believe we can come together to invent new carbon-zero technologies, deploy the ones we have, and ultimately avoid a climate catastrophe""--
