Hope Jahren
Harvard Book Store's virtual event series, the Harvard University Division of Science, and the Cabot Science Library welcome HOPE JAHREN—award-winning scientist and author of the bestselling, National Book Critics Circle Award–winning memoir, Lab Girl—for a discussion of her latest book, The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here. She will be joined in conversation by acclaimed author and social change advocate BARBARA KINGSOLVER.
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 the essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it.
