Seller Comments:
Clean, tight. Minor shelf wear. The much-discussed and highly regarded 2006 book and film by Gore arrives on audio two years later. While the material and central focus on global warming is clearly the most important aspect of the book, Beau Bridges is the only truly captivating reader here. Cynthia Nixon and Blair Underwood tend to drone on in monotone voices that take some of the impact out of Gore's findings. Bridges, however, reads with a stern and commanding tone that grips readers from the very start, never failing to relate the information with sheer honesty and true grit. As a whole, the audio is still as important and poignant as the original, and though certain aspects have been left out, the listener is still met with the same urgency to act.

Seller Comments:
2006 Paperback New in no jacket pp. 325. Former V.P. Al Gore argues that while our climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, in fact it is happening very quickly--and has become a true planetary emergency. In order to face down the danger that is stalking us and move through it, we first have to recognize that we are facing a crisis. So why is it that our leaders seem not to hear such warnings? Are they resisting the truth because they know that the moment they acknowledge it, they will face a moral imperative to act? Is it simply more convenient to ignore the warnings? Perhaps, but inconvenient truths do not go away just because they are not seen. Indeed, when they are responded to, their significance doesn?t diminish; it grows. 100?s of color photos, illus., and maps. This is a remainder book which is new and never used. It may have a remainder mark on the edge of the pages.

New York 2006 Softcover Very Good in Paperback jacket 8vo-over 7"-9" tall. pp. 328. "Our climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, but in fact it is happening very quickly?-and has become a true planetary emergency. The Chinese expression for crisis consists of two characters. The first is a symbol for danger; the second is a symbol for opportunity. In order to face down the danger that is stalking us and move through it, we first have to recognize that we are facing a crisis. So why is it that our leaders seem not to hear such clarion warnings? Are they resisting the truth because they know that the moment they acknowledge it, they will face a moral imperative to act? Is it simply more convenient to ignore the warnings? Perhaps, but inconvenient truths do not go away just because they are not seen" Some surface marking to cover.

2006 book Softcover Brand New Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 325 pages. 9.00 x 7.80 x 1.20 in. 32.8 oz. In the hopes of raising public awareness and affecting public policy, former Vice-President Al Gore issues this red flag on one of the key topics with which he has long been identified: the issue of global warming. Gore synthesizes the latest scientific findings, which indicate that the problem is more acute than just a few years ago. There are clear signs that the environment is changing: more violent and destructive weather conditions, changes in seasons, and significant melting of the polar regions due to increased temperatures. Gore explains the effects of each of these on the land and sea, and ultimately on populations. ----In an even-tempered tone, Mr. Gore takes a firm stand that addressing global warming is a priority, and he offers clear actions that need to be taken. He says that we do not need to sacrifice a robust economy, we just have to act prudently--but act w
