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.
And 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.
Excellent!

TOPIC
结合时事，后疫情时代还蛮需要的一本以环境、动物保护为主的书籍。去年开始四大就开始推ESG，市场也开始真的ESG建立etf，更多快时尚也开始特别标准环保性副牌，vegan meat也被越来越多人关注。通过本书第一次接触Roots & Shoots，还蛮惊讶作者和国人有不少联系。从动物保护角度解读SARS, HIV, E-Coli也确实让我意识到人类和动物过于亲密接触的后果，算是疾病学的另一角度。开篇指出人类保护环境实则为自保，对应后文大自然的resilience。还接触到的话题就是死亡，通过不同研究数据呼应“希望”主题的同时更说明了人的脆弱。
READABILITY
标题与章节划分清晰，阅读体验顺畅。采用对话形式，交叉采访者和被采访者的事迹，有更多角度。开篇就提及作者更喜欢讲故事，采访者会把所有研究结果放在文末。最后也有拓展阅读section，方便读者深入探索感兴趣的话题。
LEGACY
在机场书店摆在特别醒目的位置，读书和作者生平发现确实是高产的作者也有不少代表作，频繁被邀请发表演讲。类似[b:The Courage to Be Disliked: The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness|41641923|The Courage to Be Disliked The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness|Ichiro Kishimi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1535970576l/41641923.SX50.jpg|27565183]希望在未来后人们读到这本书的时侯不会怪罪我们“偷走”了他们的世界。
