It is NOT too late if we get together and take action, NOW.\" --Jane Goodall\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFears about climate change are fueling an epidemic of despair across the world: \u003c\/b\u003eadults worry about their children's future; thirty-somethings question whether they should have kids or not; and many young people honestly believe they have no future at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the face of extreme eco-anxiety, scholar and award-winning author Elin Kelsey argues that our hopelessness--while an understandable reaction--is hampering our ability to address the very real problems we face. Kelsey offers a powerful solution: hope itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHope Matters\u003c\/i\u003e boldly breaks through the narrative of doom and gloom to show why evidence-based hope, not fear, is our most powerful tool for change. Kelsey shares real-life examples of positive climate news that reveal the power of our mindsets to shape reality, the resilience of nature, and the transformative possibilities of individual and collective action. And she demonstrates how we can build on positive trends to work toward a sustainable and just future, before it's too late. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eHope Matters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Whether you consider yourself a passionate ally of nature, a busy bystander, or anything in between, this book will uplift your spirits, helping you find hope in the face of climate crisis.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Veronica Joyce Lin, North American Association for Environmental Education \"30 Under 30\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A tonic in hard times.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Claudia Dreyguis, author of Scientific Conversations: Interviews on Science from the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Beautifully written and an effective antidote against apathy and inaction.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Christof Mauch, Director, Rachel Carson Center for the Environment and Society\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elin Kelsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771647779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771647779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greystone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 12","brand":"Elin Kelsey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050096029951,"sku":"9781771647779","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e25dc34-00dc-4c83-9f75-3851639564f1.jpg?v=1685005195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hope-matters-elin-kelsey-9781771647779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
