Presents a global examination of the current state of the environment and the human responses to climate change. Developed over a decade, the book combines reportage, science, and personal narratives to explore how individuals and communities around the world are confronting environmental challenges. Weisman documents his travels to regions affected by climate change--including the Marshall Islands, Iraq, the Netherlands, the Korean DMZ, and various parts of the United States--where he observes both environmental damage and efforts toward restoration and resilience. The book profiles scientists, engineers, economists, and mental health professionals who are developing strategies to address the complex realities of a changing planet. Rather than offering technical solutions alone, Hope Dies Last also explores the psychological and societal implications of a warming world, addressing how people cope with climate-related anxiety and uncertainty. The book seeks to contribute to the broader discourse on climate change by examining how humanity can respond--emotionally and practically--to a rapidly evolving global landscape.
