Product Description

Product Description

An analysis of the most crucial and far-reaching issues confronting humanity by one of its most powerful politicians. A former journalist, Al Gore won a seat in the House of Representatives in 1976, represented Tennessee in the Senate from '84 and has been Vice-President since 1992.


From the Publisher

The frankest and most important publication by a current politician I have read in a long time’
William Rees-Mogg in The Independent

Dazzlingly meticulous… a model for the politically relevant, comprehensive discussion of environmental policy’
New Scientist
‘He argues forcefully, unanswerably, with intense humanity’
The Observer

‘An honest and thoughtful explanation of why preservation of the environment is central to the future of humanity’
Hamish McRae in The Independent

‘Close to the action, readable, passionate’
Financial Times

‘By far the best book of its kind by a serving politician that I have read’
Jonathon Porritt in the Times Literary Supplement
‘The whole darn’ thing… even more daring than Star Wars’
The Independent on Sunday

‘Well-argued ideas for saving the world’
The Mail on Sunday
‘The book is an indication that Mr Gore is a thinker as well as a doer’
The Times
‘An intelligent, articulate and highly-readable study of the parlous state of mother earth’
The Scotsman

‘A work of intelligence and passionate authenticity’
Time
‘An astonishing book’
The Irish Times
‘Demonstrates and impressive understanding of the cultural, ethical, psychological and theological implications of the ecological crisis’
The Ecologist
‘...Gore’s book is an almost abridged encyclopaedia of global environmental issues. His knowledge and arguments are clearly well researched, intelligently argued…a fascinating insight…’

5.0 out of 5 stars environmental issues & problems, 23 Jun 2001
By A Customer
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)      
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.
