5.0 out of 5 stars environmental issues & problems, 23 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Earth in the Balance: Forging a New Common Purpose (Paperback)
As I'm taking a degree in environmental science, any books of this nature interest me, however, this book in particular has stuck out as one of my favourites. The topics covered from global warming to pollution are covered in an easy to read format, though the science behind them is explained extremely coherently. Al Gore injects a definate human quality into this book, and one gets the feeling that it was written by a man with a great passion for what he was writing. The book covers a range of environmental problems citing examples, explantions and often reasonable solutions.

I have recommended this book to many "non-scientific" friends, and many have enjoyed reading it as well as benefitted from the information it contains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practice what you preach, 30 Oct 2006
By A. Horner "Andrew Horner" (Erskine, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Earth in the Balance: Forging a New Common Purpose (Paperback)
My main point about this excellent book is why did Al Gore decide to ignore it? He wrote the book in the early 90s round about the time he became Vice President. Did he do anything about the ecology when he was in power? No. Did he carry out any of the actions he recommends? Hardly. I think it's great that he's written a book on the ecology but I 'm disappointed that it's taken him this long to take any notice of it. When he was in a position to really make a point and to have a dramatic effect on the American people he fluffed it.
