In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?\nLooking at the headlines--a global pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, political upheaval--it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.\nIn this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist and Doug Abrams, internationally-bestselling author, explore--through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue--one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.\nTold through stories from a remarkable career and fascinating research, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? Filled with engaging dialogue and pictures from Jane’s storied career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in today’s world.\nAnd for the first time, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope: from living through World War II, to her years in Gombe, to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. She details the forces that shaped her hopeful worldview, her thoughts on her past, and her revelations about her next--and perhaps final--adventure.\nThere is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

Today there are more than six billion human beings on this planet, all needing to eat, and we have seen the rise to power of giant multinational corporations, eager to exploit the opportunity of such a vast global market. In order to produce more and more food, either to feed hungry people or to satisfy the wants - as distinct from needs - of today's materialistic urban elite, agricultural methods have changed. The aim of the ever more powerful corporations, with the support of governments they help to bring to power, is to produce as much food as possible, as cheaply as possible, with maximum profits for the shareholders.... What can be done to stop the monstrous corporate takeover that is motivated by the desire for more, and ever more, financial profit? How can we change a world in which decisions that affect our health and the health of the planet for generations to come are taken in order to present economic growth at the next shareholders meeting? What can we do as individuals in this world of giant corporate greed, human and animal suffering, and enviromental destruction? Is it absolutely beyond our control? There are millions of people who think this way, who feel helpless in the face of the magnitude of the problems. So even if they care they fall into apathy. This book is a clarion call to rouse such people from spineless acceptance of the status quo. I cannot stress strongly enough that every individual makes a difference. And I hope that you will understand just what it is that you can do - and that you choose to do it! --- excerpts from book's Introduction.

In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope? Looking at the headlines--the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval--it can be hard to feel optimistic.

How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane's remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today.

Teenagers: they roam in packs, mope silently in their rooms, sneak out, talk back, sneer, yell, roll their eyes, and think their parents just might be the dumbest creatures on Earth. Raising a teen is perhaps the most challenging phase of childrearing, a time when kids push every known hot button and wreak havoc with carefully thought-out parenting strategies. I Wanna Be Sedated brings a sense of humor and perspective to some of the deepest worries of parents. Joyce Maynard explores the house rules for boy-girl sleepovers in "The Girlfriend Sleeps Over," Dan Glick writes about drug dilemmas in "I Definitely Inhaled." Debra Gwartney speaks candidly about every parent's worst nightmare in "Runaway Daughter." And, Anna Quindlen reflects upon her rapidly emptying nest in "Flown Away, Left Behind." Featuring dynamic, top-caliber writing, this delightful collection speaks to the challenging, exhilarating, and occasionally mind-blowing task of parenting teenagers.
