| | | Gore's bestselling book is now adapted for perhaps the most important audience of all: today's youth, who have no choice but to confront the planetary emergency head-on. Bursting with color photos, this book clearly explains global warming. (Environmental Studies) Annotation: Al Gore's bestselling adult title about global warming has been carefully altered for a younger audience. While text has been cut, the information still packs the same punch. Photographs, along with new chapter titles, have been added. A School Library Journal Best Book of 2007.
| Praise| "Like the film, this title may leave readers to look elsewhere for both documentation and for specific plans of action, but as an appeal to reason it's as polished and persuasive as it can be." 3/1/2007 "Gore's research continues to raise controversy, but few, if any books for youth offer such a dynamic look at the climate issues threatening our planet." 4/15/2007 "[T]his book is better organized than the original, with a bale of contents, chapter headings and an index--useful features that the adult edition lacked." 5/13/2007 |
