if Skepticism About Global Warming Has Faded Significantly, Much Of The Credit Must Go To The Oscar-winning Documentary And Best-selling Book On Which This Title Is Based. Former Vice President Gore Has Thrown His Energy And Prestige Into Raising The Issue To The Forefront Of Popular Consciousness. This Young Adult Version Will Have Immediate Name Recognition. Slightly Shortened And Simplified, It Includes Most Of The Same, Highly Effective Graphics And Illustrations As The Adult Book. Gore Makes No Apologies For Not Presenting Opposing Opinions. Indeed He Contends That In The Scientific As Opposed To The Popular Press, There Is No Debate. The Adult Title Includes More Corroborating Evidence For Some Contentions. Here The Text Is Graceful But Blunt: There Is No Doubt About Global Warming, And This Generation Will Bear The Brunt If Changes Are Not Made Immediately. Browsers Will Be Drawn To The Striking Format, Perfectly Designed For A Visually Sophisticated Age Group. The Text Omits Personal Material Found In The Original And Shortens And Rearranges Some Of The Chapters. Also Unfortunately Missing Are The Misconception Sidebars That Address Frequently Heard Objections. The One False Note Comes In The Take Action Section, Where Gore Trivializes The Ability Of His Audience To Make An Impact. His Few Suggestions Are Almost Insultingly Minor. He Badly Underestimates The Will And Influence Of This Very Savvy Generation, Who Can Pressure Parents And Politicians To Take The Steps He Recommends To His Adult Readers. This Book Is A Must-have For Collections Serving Younger Teen Readers.
