THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER & A NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR
A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope.
The timeless bestseller from Jane Goodall, the 'godmother of climate activism' – an uplifting and empowering guide to the climate crisis and what we can do about it.
In our modern world, glancing at headlines – the worsening climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval – makes it hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
Legendary conservationist Jane Goodall dedicated her lifetime to nature and conservation, from famous encounters with chimpanzees in the forests of Gombe, Tanzania as a young woman to tireless campaigning for the environment into her nineties.
Now, through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue in conversation with co-author Douglas Abrams, Goodall introduces her Four Reasons for Hope – The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look at the nature of hope and a journey into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionised how we view the world.
There is still help, and this book will help guide us to it.
