Title: Earth in the Balance
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.
