The Story of More is a collection of introductions to various aspects of climate change and other environmental problems. It’s not comprehensive and it doesn’t go very deep, but it is approachable, which is its best quality. 

Kindness seems to ooze out of Hope Jahren’s every word. She’s understanding of how overwhelming these issues can be especially if you’re only now faced with them and like in her debut book Lab Girl, she expertly combines personal experiences with facts, keeping the tone of writing bright and entertaining . In short, she’s the kind of person readers want to be friends with. 

I personally didn’t encounter much new information in The Story of More, but I’m not really the target audience. I think this is best suited for someone who is only starting to have interest in environmental issues and wants to make some changes in their lives yet is unsure of where to begin.
