James Fallows praises OTHER RIVERS by Peter Hessler
“The hardest and most important challenge in writing about China is conveying the vivid individuality of the people who make it up. Peter Hessler does this wonderfully again.”

“Beyond the headlines of strategic rivalry and military confrontation with China are countless stories of real people trying to live in a complex country …he tells their stories with empathy and affection.”
“…one still comes away from The Last Yakuza finding its subject not just sympathetic, but even lovable.”
“Painstakingly reported and paced like a thriller, this is a must-read for anyone interested in organized crime.”
“…the essential, brilliant, accessible guide to this rapidly growing movement. If you are interested in work, technology, climate or the future of humanity-read this book.”
On May 5th, Rob Verchick was named a member of Harvard Radcliffe Institute’s 2023–2024 class of fellows, a cohort whose projects contend with the urgent, the beautiful, and the vast: from reckoning with the challenges of climate change to creating digital models of iconic Italian violins to detecting distant galaxies.
“His book tackles one of the most fraught climate policy questions: what should be done to adapt to a world facing growing evidence of climate stress?”
“Rob Verchick has given us both a tour of and a tour de force on the subject. Ranging from comparative anatomy to anthropology, history, philosophy, engineering, and politics, this is a fascinating, provocative—and important—book.”
“Rob Verchick has created a smart roadmap for planning for the future on a changing planet.”
“…a very important addition to the canon of climate literature—thinking ahead even further out, investigating the colossal mess…”
