Review
The young readers’ edition of Al Gore’s bestselling An Inconvenient Truth, explains the
process of global warming in simple and understandable terms without talking
down to readers. In fact the book
addresses teenagers as the answer, a new generation with new ideas to combat climate
change. Gore goes beyond just explaining
what global warming is and what it will do, he explains how global warming is
already affecting the planet and all of us: stronger storms, such as Hurricane
Katrina, devastating heat waves in Europe, and destructive droughts in Asia are
just a few ways global warming is changing the planet. In addition to a strong narrative, An Inconvenient Truth, is richly
illustrated with lots of photographs and persuasive graphics. This is truly a wonderful and important
book.
