书籍简介

这位屡获殊荣的环境记者在我们面临破碎和不确定的未来时，对希望和韧性进行了非凡的、期待已久的描绘

在这个充满人情味和感人至深的叙述中，畅销书《没有我们的世界》的作者带着一本酝酿十年的书回来了：研究作为一个处于地球生存危机前线的人类意味着什么。他的新书《希望消逝》是对我们当前困境的文学再现，也是我们人类应对有史以来不稳定的困难的核心决心。

为了写这本书，韦斯曼走遍了全球，目睹了气候剧变和其他破坏，并会见了努力减轻和消除我们过去的违法行为的人们。从洪水泛滥的马绍尔群岛到伊拉克湿地的恢复，从荷兰和孟加拉国到韩国非军事区，再到美国和世界各地的城市和海岸线，他遇到了人类与炎热、饥饿、潮汐上涨和自然危机作斗争的优秀的人。他描述了伟大的思想家——工程师、科学家、自然资源保护主义者、经济学家、建筑师和艺术家——的创新，因为他们对不确定、不祥的未来提出了极具创造性和想象力的反应。在历史上这时刻，由于我们在这个星球上的集体开发可能会导致我们自己的毁灭，并且我们可能成为走向灭绝的物种之一，因此他们拒绝接受失败。

《希望消逝》填补了全球对话中的一个关键空白：在我们的气候对抗中已经到了无可挽回的地步，当我们面对一个与我们预期截然不同的未来时，我们的感受、行为、行动、计划和梦想如何？

The award-winning environmental journalist’s extraordinary, long-awaited portrait of hope and resilience as we face a fractured and uncertain future

In this profoundly human and moving narrative, the bestselling author of The World Without Us returns with a book ten years in the making: a study of what it means to be a human on the front lines of our planet’s existential crisis. His new book, Hope Dies Last, is a literary evocation of our current predicament and the core resolve of our species against the most precarious odds we have ever faced.

To write this book, Weisman traveled the globe, witnessing climate upheaval and other devastations, and meeting the people striving to mitigate and undo our past transgressions. From the flooding Marshall Islands to revived wetlands in Iraq, from the Netherlands and Bangladesh to the Korean DMZ and to cities and coastlines in the U.S. and around the world, he has encountered the best of humanity battling heat, hunger, rising tides, and imperiled nature. He profiles the innovations of big thinkers—engineers, scientists, conservationists, economists, architects, and artists—as they conjure wildly creative, imaginative responses to an uncertain, ominous future. At this unprecedented point in history, as our collective exploits on this planet may lead to our own undoing and we could be among the species marching toward extinction, they refuse to accept defeat.

Hope Dies Last fills a crucial gap in the global conversation: Having reached a point of no return in our climate confrontation, how do we feel, behave, act, plan, and dream as we approach a future decidedly different from what we had expected?
