(reception at 3:30)

New Yorker staff writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Kolbert joins us to talk about her new book H IS FOR HOPE: CLIMATE CHANGE FROM A TO Z.

In 26 essays—one for each letter of the alphabet—the acclaimed author of The Sixth Extinction takes us on an illustrated journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future. Adapted from essays originally published in the New YorkerH Is for Hope is simultaneously inspiring, alarming, and darkly humorous—a unique examination of our changing world from “A”, for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world’s first climate model in 1894, to “Z”, for the Colorado River Basin, ground zero for climate change in the United States.
