First sentence: Writing this book is part of a personal journey that began more than twenty-five years ago, a journey in search of a true understanding of the global ecological crisis and how it can be resolved.
Description: "A passionate and lifelong defender of the environment, Vice President Al Gore describes in this book how human actions and decisions can endanger or safeguard the vulnerable ecosystem that sustains us all. The book's analysis helped place the environment on the national agenda, summoning politicians, the media, and the public to attention and action.

The message remains just as urgent today as it did eight years ago: while much has been accomplished, we must meet a global environmental challenge that reaches into every aspect of our society."--BOOK JACKET.
