Hope Jahren Author Post
Dear Educator,
First of all, thank you for reading books! In a world full of distractions, you are giving your time and energy to written ideas, thoughts and feelings … and teaching others to do the same. What would the world be without you? While we’re on the topic, I’d love for you to take a look at my new book for young people, “The Story of More” perhaps there is something inside that would interest you – and the students that you teach!
Like many of the people that I meet each day, I have plenty of questions about Climate Change: mostly along the lines of What should I believe? and Should I be afraid? Because a teacher’s job is to answer questions, I did my research and wrote a book entitled “The Story of More.” It is the book full of the answers that I found for the questions above. I’ve now re-written the adult version to a version that will be more accessible — and more interesting — to young people. It’s full of simple explanations, personal stories, our shared history of Global Change and what we can do to bring forward a brighter future – what it doesn’t contain is preaching and propaganda. It is the science that I needed to write, and maybe — just maybe — it contains answers and solutions that your students want to consider. It is a book on Climate Change that is truly for everyone, regardless of their “politics.”
I’ll close this note with my very best to you, from one book lover to another!
Sincerely,
Hope Jahren
