  'Achieving net zero will be the most amazing thing humankind has ever done.' - Bill Gates 
  In 2010, Bill Gates first came up with the term 'Innovating to Zero' to advocate a nuclear energy technology that would be safe and reliable, and have zero emissions. From its early use as a placeholder in Mesopotamian and Mayan civilizations to being ascribed value in seventh-century India, zero has today become the foundation without which modern world would crumble. In the twenty-first century, zero is taking on a completely new meaning - VISION ZERO. 
  In Innovating to Zero, Sarwant Singh sets out to explore a zero-concept world, where this vision can be used to create a sustainable future by achieving zero-emission vehicles, zero waste, zero accidents, zero defects, zero security breaches, zero carbon emissions, zero obesity and even zero diseases. From companies like Nissan, Britannia and Atos to a government organization like UK's Jet Zero Council to even a football club like Tottenham Hotspur, the book highlights the various fields where zero can play a disruptive role-be it among communities or corporates, in the context of social and business agendas, both today and in the future. 
  For readers, Singh provides a step-by-step approach to designing, developing and delivering a zero-vision strategy and a framework to achieve it, inspiring them to create a sustainable planet.

  Cool - How Air Conditioning...

  "[A] history of air conditioning, chronicling the numerous gimmicks, failed attempts, con jobs, and eventual successes . . . a surprisingly interesting journey." —San Francisco Book Review 
   
   
    
  The air conditioner is often hailed as one of the modern world's greatest inventions—yet nearly as often blamed for global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people's food habits; saved countless lives, and caused countless deaths. First appearing in 1902, when Willis Carrier, an engineer barely out of college, developed the "Apparatus for Treating Air," everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. But the story of air conditioning and its rise to ubiquity is far from simple. 
   
   
    
  In Cool, Salvatore Basile tracks two fascinating stories: the struggle to perfect an effective cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Nixon and Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning as it was developed and introduced to the world. Here is a unique perspective on a common convenience: how we came to rely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.

  Philosophy - Exploring Life's...

  Philosophy, at its core, is the study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, and the human condition. It is not merely an academic subject but a way of thinking, questioning, and understanding the world. The term "philosophy" comes from the Greek words "philo" (love) and "sophia" (wisdom), meaning "the love of wisdom." This pursuit of wisdom has been a defining aspect of human civilization for thousands of years, shaping our perspectives on reality, morality, and truth. 
  One of the key aspects of philosophy is its role in fostering critical thinking. Philosophers do not accept ideas at face value but engage in rational inquiry, examining beliefs and assumptions. This is why philosophy often begins with questions rather than answers. What is real? How do we know what we know? What is the purpose of life? These questions are not easily answered, yet they push us to think deeply about our existence. 
  Philosophy is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of human thought. Metaphysics explores the nature of reality, asking questions about existence, time, and the universe. Epistemology deals with the nature and limits of knowledge—how we acquire it and whether absolute truth exists. Ethics examines the principles of right and wrong, guiding moral behavior. Logic studies the structure of reasoning, ensuring that arguments are sound and rational. Political philosophy and aesthetics, while sometimes considered separate disciplines, also fall under the broader philosophical umbrella, dealing with justice, governance, and beauty.
