\n"The voice that science has been waiting for." --Nature
\nH ope Jahren is an award-winning scientist\, a brilliant writer\, a passiona te teacher\, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this e arth. In \;The Story of More\, she illuminates the link between human habits and our imperiled planet. In concise\, highly readable chapters\, s he takes us through the science behind the key inventions--from electric p ower to large-scale farming to automobiles--that\, even as they help us\, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like never before. She explai ns the current and projected consequences of global warming--from supersto rms to rising sea levels--and the actions that we all can take to fight ba ck. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of global change and a lively\, personal narrative given to us in Jahren's inimitable voice\, \;The S tory of More \;is \;"a superb account of the deadly struggle betwe en humanity and what may prove the only life-bearing planet within ten lig ht years" (E. O. Wilson)
