About this item
In twenty-six essays - one for each letter of the alphabet - the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction takes us on a hauntingly illustrated journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future.. Climate change resists 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 decisions to be made, even though it's unclear who, exactly, will make them.. 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.
