A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope. The world-renowned naturalist and conservationist Jane Goodall has spent more than half a century advocating on behalf of our planet. From her famous encounters with chimpanzees in the forests of Gombe as a young woman to her tireless campaigning for the environment in her late eighties, Jane has become the godmother to a new generation committed to a better, more hopeful world. In The Book of Hope, Jane draws on the wisdom of a lifetime dedicated to nature to teach us how to find strength in trying times, and explains why she still has hope for the natural world and for humanity. In extraordinary conversations with her co-author, Douglas Abrams, that weave together stories from her travels and activism, she offers readers a new understanding of the crisis we face and a compelling path forward for us all to create hope in our own lives and in the world. The world needs a manifesto of hope now more than ever. This profound book from one of the world's most beloved figures shows that even in the face of great adversity, we can find hope in human nature, and in nature itself

Sevilla 1593: Als Don Juan die Verhaftung durch die Heilige Inquisition droht, ist er entschlossen, Spanien zu verlassen. Genau in diesem Moment begegnet er einer Frau, die nicht nur seine Leidenschaft entfacht, sondern auch wie keine je zuvor sein Herz berührt. Als der berüchtigte Frauenverführer Don Juan Tenorio seine jüngste Geliebte verlässt, um sich beim König von Spanien einzufinden, ahnt er nicht, dass diese Audienz sein Leben für immer verändern wird. Angestachelt durch den fanatischen Großinquisitor, verlangt Philipp II. von Don Juan, sich innerhalb eines Monats zu verheiraten. Aber der Freigeist ist entschlossen, sich dem Ultimatum nicht zu beugen. Er beginnt damit, sein Leben aufzuzeichnen, von seiner behüteten und liebevollen Kindheit bei den Nonnen, die ihn heimlich aufziehen, über seine Jahre als Dieb und Spion bis hin zu dem Augenblick, als er seine wahre Berufung als Liebhaber aller Frauen entdeckt. Gleichzeitig plant Don Juan seine Flucht in die Neue Welt, doch da begegnet er der schönen, unerschrockenen Doña Ana – Tochter seines Erzfeindes und Verlobte seines Gönners – und verliebt sich zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben rückhaltlos. Verzweifelt stürzt sich Don Juan in einen schier aussichtslosen Kampf um ein Glück, dessen Geheimnis ihm so lange verborgen war.
