The links between human consumption habits and our endangered existence are very real, with consequences leading to a crossroads of survival and extinction. <p/>Still, Jahren maintains that our ever-broadening science-based knowledge can help us counter this dilemma. The eye-opening information provided in <i>The Story of More</i> will help readers understand the path we must take. If we collectively make informed choices now, Jahren reassures us, our future can be as bright as we imagine it can be.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for THE STORY OF MORE (Adapted for Young Adults): <br></b><br>This highly-readable scientific tome is a brief but thorough introduction into how we got here ecologically speaking and what is necessary to sustain our shared planet for future generations.
