Review
--John Meachan, Newsweek
"Authoritative, exhaustive, reasoned, erudite."
--Sharon Begley, Newsweek "The clarity of his argument and the fissile power of his analysis combine to elevate Our Choice into the top-ranking environmental books of our time."
--Financial Times "There is no greater champion of the climate imperative than Al Gore. [He] distills his mastery of the topic into clean, readable prose, and illustrates it with gorgeous glossy photos and accessible -- and eye-opening -- charts. After you read Gore's book, you will see why the choice must be made right now."
--Huffington Post
"Ken-Burns-meets-global-warming, with vivid diagrams of how technologies work and lavish color photos."

This [is] a must-read book for those who want a primer on all the key solutions countries will be considering at Copenhagen."
--Dr. Joseph Romm, Climateprogress.com
"It's the grand compendium of all that we know about how to undertake this most difficult of transitions. Gore's new volume is the indispensable one-stop shop for the cutting edge thinking about how we're going to solve this problem."
--Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "No one is more qualified than Gore to lead the collective movement beyond fossil fuels, given his command of the science and politics involved, his invaluable global connections and resources, and his sensitivity to our reluctance to face the 'magnitude and gravity of the climate crisis.' As he did in An Inconvenient Truth (2006), Gore matches clear and ringing explanations and commentary w

In a new book that marks an evolution in his thinking, Al Gore recognizes that the debate over climate change can be more about doing well while doing good. "John Meachan, Newsweek"
