X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Our August 2026 selection is&nbsp\;<em>H i
 s for Hope&nbsp\;</em>by Elizabeth Kolbert.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p class="headin
 g5" style="text-align: center\;">FROM CATALOG</p>\n<p>Climate change resis
 ts 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 de
 cisions to be made\, even though it's unclear who\, exactly\, will make th
 em.</p>\n<p>In&nbsp\;H Is for Hope\, Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the la
 ndscape of climate change--from "A"\, for Svante&nbsp\;Arrhenius\, who cre
 ated the world's first climate model in 1894\, to "Z"\, for the Colorado R
 iver Basin\, ground&nbsp\;zero for climate change in the United States. Al
 ong the way she looks at Greta Thunburg's "blah blah blah" speech ("B")\, 
 learns to fly an all-electric plane ("E")\, experiments with the effects o
 f extreme&nbsp\;temperatures on the human body ("T")\, and struggles with 
 the deep&nbsp\;uncertainty of the future of climate change ("U").</p>\n<p>
 Adapted from essays originally published in&nbsp\;The New Yorker&nbsp\;and
  beautifully illustrated by Wesley Allsbrook\,&nbsp\;H Is for Hope&nbsp\;i
 s simultaneously inspiring\, alarming\, and darkly humorous--a unique exam
 ination of our changing world.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>Copies of this tit
