There is no other correspondent like Bill Weir, and there’s certainly no other book like this one. It’s moving, funny, frank, well-researched, beautifully written, and looks at climate change in a way I’ve never seen before.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor, 60 Minutes correspondent, and New York Times–bestselling author
“Bill Weir provides insightful, alarming, but ultimately hopeful coverage of the climate crisis. His new book is a gorgeous love letter to his son but also to Earth and humanity. Read this for insight, solutions, and an exhilarating journey.”—Jake Tapper, CNN anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent, and New York Times–bestselling author
“Bill Weir is one of America’s great storytellers. In this timely debut, he takes us around the world and gives us a front-row seat to one of the world’s most pressing issues: climate change. Life as We Know It (Can Be) gives us hope—and some real solutions—to build a more promising future.”—Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Blue Zones books
“Life as We Know It (Can Be) is a clear-eyed, heartfelt argument against despair. It is also a kind of instruction manual for how to live in an age of so much loss. Weir risks writing both rigorously and personally, as a climate journalist and as a father. The result is sobering and inspiring.”—Jonathan Safran Foer, New York Times–bestselling author
