How gorgeous is H IS FOR HOPE by Elizabeth Kolbert? These illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook really make the essays in this collection come alive!
In H IS FOR HOPE, Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the landscape of climate change—from “A”, for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world’s first climate model in 1894, to “Z”, for the Colorado River Basin, ground zero for climate change in the United States. Along the way she looks at Greta Thurnburg’s “blah blah blah” speech (“B”), flies an all- electric plane (“E”), experiments with the effects of extreme temperatures on the human body (“T”), and struggles with the deep uncertainty of the future of climate change (“U”).
