Here she is again in all her positive glory, further inspiring the world to remain hopeful and to use your hope to act upon. Thank you, Jane, for the unending good you have made and continue to make on the world. And wonderful work, Doug! Thank you for bringing this series of conversations to the public for us all to learn from. ( ) I was concerned this (read for our local book group) might be a bit heavy, but it's written in a light, conversational style, and I found it almost compulsive reading. There are anecdotes to explain or illustrate the principles and science, and plenty of brief pauses, as the authors stop for a break. Jane Goodall is a naturalist, now in her late 80s but still writing and travelling, speaking for the animals, the trees, and humans in a world where climate change and devastation have led to a lot of people giving up on hope. The book charts her reasons for hoping that the future might not be as bad as predicted, and I found it encouraging, inspiring and overall reassuring. Excellent writing which has, hopefully, brought some of the current environmental issues to the general public. Longer review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2023/09/the-book-of-hope-by-jane-goodall-an... Jane Goodall’s and Douglas Abrams’s The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times captured the dedication to this naturalist’s lifelong work. In this book Goodall focused on Four Elements of Hope viz., The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. Goodall who was interviewed by Douglas Abrams put a great deal of trust in people. She acknowledged that humans were flawed, spoke about terrible wars, unspeakable tragedies, and catastrophes brought on by homo sapiens. In spite of these problems, she sang the praises of all those heroes and heroines that do outstanding work that’s beneficial to mankind. In her assessment of nature around the world especially in parts of Africa, Goodall was hopeful. She spoke about the ravishes of the planet, deforestation, poaching, and climate change that were urgent issues. Yet, she saw nature as being able to recover after years and years of abuse, for there was a narrow window of opportunity. Undoubtedly, Goodall has pinned her hope on youths. The Jane Goodall Institute is doing important work in this quest. Young people have an organization that serves as a bastion for their work. They put into action numerous projects geared to their environment. Roots & Shoots include those in grade school and universities from many countries around the world. Understanding nature calls for sacrifice and commitment. Special individuals are identified and praised who have done extraordinary work for biodiversity, helping people with sustainable projects, curing disease, and making an overall difference in the lives of the less fortunate worldwide. In the midst of this human crisis because of all of the positive outcomes, Goodall has remained hopeful that people could all pull together to make the world better. NO HAY NADA MÁS FUERTE QUE UNA PEQUEÑA ESPERANZA QUE NO SE RINDE El libro de la esperanza es una recopilación de pequeñas islas de ilusión. Reúne formas de consuelo e historias que nos proporcionan nuevas maneras de vernos a nosotros y al mundo. La mezcla de filosofía, memorias y autorreflexión de Matt Haig se basa en filósofos y supervivientes de todos los tiempos, desde Marco Aurelio hasta Nellie Bly, desde Emily Dickinson hasta James Baldwin. Este es el libro al que debes recurrir cuando necesites la sabiduría de un amigo, el consuelo de un abrazo o un recordatorio de que la esperanza surge de lugares inesperados.
