This obviously isn't a standard politician's book, tossed off in a few weekends with aides doing most of the work and the famous man's name slapped on the cover. This is Gore's book, cover to cover, not only from the personal anecdotes and wide-ranging travel experiences he brings to the political and scientific aspects of global environmental problems, but also from the historical, philosophical, religious, spiritual, economic and moral dimensions he explores.” —Bob Thompson, The San Francisco Chronicle
“A work of intelligence and passionate authenticity...Gore has produced a labor of statesmanship, evangelism, and scientific exposition. His book itself is an act of leadership” —Time
“Earth in the Balance is a brilliantly written, prophetic, even holy book, clearly pointing the way we need to change to assure the survival of our grandchildren. I pray it will have the dramatic impact it deserves—and must have for our collective salvation.” —M. Scott Peck
