About ebook : H Is for Hope: Climate Change from A to Z
In twenty-six essays-one for each letter of the alphabet-the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction takes us on a hauntingly illustrated journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future.
Climate change resists narrative-and yet some account of what's happening is needed. Millions of lives are at stake, and upward of a million species. And there are decisions to be made, even though it's unclear who, exactly, will make them.
In H Is for Hope , Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the landscape of climate change-from "A", for Svante A rrhenius, who created the world's first climate model in 1894, to "Z", for the Colorado River Basin, ground z ero for climate change in the United States. Along the way she looks at Greta Thunburg's " b lah blah blah" speech ("B"), learns to fly an all- e lectric plane ("E"), experiments with the effects of extreme t emperatures on the human body ("T"), and struggles with the deep u ncertainty of the future of climate change ("U").
Adapted from essays originally published in The New Yorker and beautifully illustrated by Wesley Allsbrook, H Is for Hope is simultaneously inspiring, alarming, and darkly humorous-a unique examination of our changing world.
