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."

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"
