Books on Tap at Ballyhoos

Meet to discuss this month’s selected title: Book Of Hope by Jane Goodall

Book club copies are available for check-out at Great Neck Library. Adults. Registration is not required.

Book Description: In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, internationally bestselling coauthor of The Book of Joy, explore- through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue- one of the most sought-after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, the Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.  While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, 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. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next- and perhaps final- adventure.
