Inhaltsangabe
The essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it. “Hope Jahren asks the central question of our time: how can we learn to live on a finite planet?" (Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction).
“Hope Jahren is the voice that science has been waiting for.” —Nature
Hope Jahren is an award-winning scientist, a brilliant writer, a passionate teacher, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. In The Story of More, she illuminates the link between human habits and our imperiled planet. In concise chapters, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions—from electric power to large-scale farming to automobiles—that, even as they help us, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like never before. She explains the current and projected consequences of global warming—from superstorms to rising sea levels—and the actions that we all can take to fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of global change and a lively, personal narrative given to us in Jahren’s inimitable voice, The Story of More is “a superb account of the deadly struggle between humanity and what may prove the only life-bearing planet within ten light years" (E. O. Wilson).
Kritikerstimmen
“[Hope Jahren] leads us on a journey across time and space, outlining thoughts and beliefs from Mesopotamia to her tiny Minnesota hometown. Along the way she discusses the impact of everything from population growth to Norwegian fishing to nuclear power. She takes this approach in order to present climate change as a result of broader dysfunctions having to do with consumption habits that, she says, don’t even make us happy.... It’s an argument that contrasts with the recent spate of climate books, which opt to pummel readers with facts and guilt. Jahren, who first came to prominence with the best-selling memoir “Lab Girl,” instead writes delicately, like the whispery scrape of a skate tracing a figure on the ice.” —The New York Times Book Review
“If there’s one book all of us should read about the state of the environment, it’s this one.... [Jahren] pulls off the feat of presenting climate change without emotional baggage through accessibility and humor.” —The Washington Independent Review of Books
“Hope Jahren asks the central question of our time: how can we learn to live on a finite planet? The Story of More is thoughtful, informative, and—above all—essential.”—Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction

Disappointing
There is a lot wrong with this audiobook.
1. The reader. Please dear authors stop thinking it’s a good to read your own books. There a professionals that do this for a living. If you want to wining voice whispering in your ears for hours. Go ahead
2. The focus of the book is around 90/10. Meaning 90 % tell us how fucked up we are and 10 % Solutions to deal with it. The title intended more a 50/50 at least for me.
3. the 10% Solutions are way to focused on taking personal action to tackle climate change. Limit your flights, ear less, consuming less ect. Don’t get me wrong that IS important. But that pollutions produced by the big industries like steel, chemicals and so on. The ones that you can’t influence by your purchase decisions because they don’t sell you a product they sell to companies. These industries producing the lion share the co2 output are only briefly mentioned in 90% part and not mentioned in the 10% part about the solutions.
Overall I was really underwhelmed by the book. If you read at least a couple of books about this topic you will find nothing new here. If you looking for a first book for the topic I would recommend reading Naomie Klein Capitalism vs Climate instead.
