A passionate and lifelong defender of the environment, Vice
President Al Gore describes in this classic best-selling book how
human actions and decisions can endanger or safeguard the
vulnerable ecosystem that sustains us all. The book's
groundbreaking 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. In brave and unforgettable terms, Earth in
the Balance probes the roots of the environmental crisis and offers
a bold and forceful vision of a new, more sustainable path. Having
provoked international discussion upon its original publication, it
continues to confront us with profound challenges. Human
civilization must change its course if we are to heal our ailing
environment and preserve the earth's ecology for future
generations. Vice President Gore describes in a new foreword to
this classic what we have achieved and what remains to be done, and
issues a clarion call to begin the millennium with an "Environment
Decade." It is time to reflect deeply on the fate of our planet and
commit ourselves to its future.
