His new uplifting book, \u003ci\u003eHope Dies Last\u003c\/i\u003e, is a literary evocation of our current predicament and the core optimism of the human species against the worst odds we have ever faced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo write this book, Weisman has travelled the globe witnessing the devastation of climate change and meeting the people striving to mitigate and undo our past transgressions. From the flooding Marshall Islands to wetlands renewal in Iraq, and from the Netherlands to the Korean DMZ to cities and coastlines around the world, he has witnessed personally the best of humanity battling the heat, the hunger, and the rising tides. He profiles the work of big thinkers-engineers, scientists, economists, and psychiatrists-as they devise innovative and wildly creative responses to an uncertain and frightening future. We are at an unprecedented point in history, as our collective exploits on this planet are leading us to our own undoing, and we could be one of the species marching toward extinction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA remedy to climate anxiety by one of our most important voices on humans' relationship with the Earth, \u003ci\u003eHope Dies Last\u003c\/i\u003e fills a crucial gap in the global conversation: Now that we have passed the point of no return in our battle against climate change, how do we feel, behave, act, plan, and dream as we approach a future decidedly different from what we had expected?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlan Weisman \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including the global bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe World Without Us\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been translated into 34 international languages and was nominated for numerous awards.
