"The Story of More: How We Get to Climate Change and Where to Go From Here by Hope Jahren. As the subtitle explains, Jahren's ambitious book shows us how humanity's enterprising spirit drove us into our current consumerist society. Divided into short chapters that don't overwhelm readers, she explains the steps that led to our current food, energy, and environmental (air pollution, global warming, mass extinction) crisis. What I love the most is that Jahren then tells us what we can do to mitigate these; but she does it by offering us baby steps: focus on just one of the issues she mentions in the book and follow the suggestions she offers. Jahren's mastery of her topic and understanding of her reader's possible anxieties result in a book that offers a glimpse of hope in what would otherwise be a very grim reality."
