An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore

This is the companion book to Gore's documentary of the same name, which has been receiving positive reviews since its release earlier this year.

I thought this was a very powerful book - rather than making it text-heavy, Gore uses well-selected photos to make his point, and writes in short, easy-to-understand paragraphs about the effect our lifestyles have on the planet - global warming, pollution, the burning of rainforests and more. He concludes the book with a look at how everyone can take small steps to better the planet environmentally.

I'm curious to see the documentary now, but found this a worthwhile, interesting (and at times, simply terrifying) read. Recommended!
