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 illuminates the science behind key inventions, clarifying
how electricity, large-scale farming, and automobiles have both helped
and harmed our world. She 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. Still, Jahren maintains that our ever-broadening
science-based knowledge can help us counter these effects. The
eye-opening information in The Story of More will help readers
understand the path needed. If we collectively make informed choices
now, Jahren reassures, our future can be as bright as we imagine it can
be.
