A passionate defender of the environment for more than twenty years, Senator Al Gore is now convinced that the engines of human civilization have brought us to the brink of catastrophe. In this brave and provocative book, Gore argues that only a radical rethinking of our relationship with nature can save the earth's ecology for future generations. The roots of this crisis reach into every aspect of society, and Gore's forceful analysis of where we've gone wrong ranges across politics, history, science, economics, psychology, and religion. Gore argues that only a worldwide mobilization can save us from disaster, and in a brilliant and comprehensive plan for action, he addresses issues that involve not only the earth's ecology, but also population trends, appropriate technology, and environmental education.
