This young adult adaptation of acclaimed geochemist and geobiologist
Hope Jahren's highly respected nonfiction work is the perfect book for
those interested in learning about climate change and how they can
contribute to creating a more sustainable future.
Hope Jahren, acclaimed geochemist and geobiologist, details the science
behind key inventions, clarifying how electricity, large-scale farming,
and automobiles have both helped and harmed our world.
Jahren explains the current and projected consequences of unchecked
global warming, from superstorms to rising sea levels, resulting from
the unprecedented amounts of greenhouse gases being released into our
atmosphere. The links between human consumption habits and our
endangered existence are very real, with consequences leading to a
crossroads of survival and extinction.
Still, Jahren maintains that our ever-broadening science-based knowledge
can help us counter this dilemma. The eye-opening information provided
in The Story of More will help readers understand the path we must
take. If we collectively make informed choices now, Jahren reassures us,
our future can be as bright as we imagine it can be.
