His new book, \u003ci\u003eHope Dies Last\u003c\/i\u003e, is a literary evocation of our current predicament and the core resolve of our species against the most precarious odds we have ever faced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To write this book, Weisman traveled the globe, witnessing climate upheaval and other devastations, and meeting the people striving to mitigate and undo our past transgressions. From the flooding Marshall Islands to revived wetlands in Iraq, from the Netherlands and Bangladesh to the Korean DMZ and to cities and coastlines in the U.S. and around the world, he has encountered the best of humanity battling heat, hunger, rising tides, and imperiled nature. He profiles the innovations of big thinkers--engineers, scientists, conservationists, economists, architects, and artists--as they conjure wildly creative, imaginative responses to an uncertain, ominous future. At this unprecedented point in history, as our collective exploits on this planet may lead to our own undoing and we could be among the species marching toward extinction, they refuse to accept defeat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A remedy to climate anxiety by one of the most important voices on humanity's relationship with the Earth, \u003ci\u003eHope Dies Last\u003c\/i\u003e fills a crucial gap in the global conversation: Having reached a point of no return in our climate confrontation, how do we feel, behave, act, plan, and dream as we approach a future decidedly different from what we had expected?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Weisman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152474669X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524746698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alan Weisman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46173195043071,"sku":"9781524746698","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1bce226-f339-4067-b9ad-b8ac7ba1c7c0.jpg?v=1727180267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hope-dies-last-alan-weisman-9781524746698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
