The Story of More (Adapted for Young Adults)

Audiobook
The essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it. • Jahren asks the central question of our time: how can we learn to live on a finite planet?" Elizabeth Kolbert, New York Times bestselling author of The Sixth Extinction
"The voice that science has been waiting for.” —Nature

Hope Jahren is an award-winning scientist, a brilliant writer, a passionate teacher, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. In The Story of More, she illuminates the link between human habits and our imperiled planet. In concise, highly readable chapters, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions—from electric power to large-scale farming to automobiles—that, even as they help us, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like never before. She explains the current and projected consequences of global warming—from superstorms to rising sea levels—and the actions that we all can take to fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of global change and a lively, personal narrative given to us in Jahren’s inimitable voice, The Story of More is “a superb account of the deadly struggle between humanity and what may prove the only life-bearing planet within ten light years" (E. O. Wilson).
