An Inconvenient Truth, Gore's groundbreaking battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance,
will be published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name that will be seen in theaters across the country
in May. Both the book and film were inspired by a series of multimedia presentations on global warming that Gore
created and delivers to groups around the world. With this book, Gore, who is one of our environmental heroes --
and a leading expert -- brings together leading-edge research from top scientists around the world; photographs,
charts, and other illustrations; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope
of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness -- and with humor, too -- that the fact
of global warming is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be disastrous if left
unchecked. This riveting new book, written in an accessible, entertaining style, will open the eyes of even the
most skeptical.
