| 3. |  | An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It from Rodale Books Price: $10.40 Customer Review:  "An Inconvenient Truth" The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It" is more like Propaganda. I do give Al's book two stars, probably more than it deserves, because the data do seem to show a slight warming in Earth's average annual temperature. However, I checked the real,... |

| 15. |  | El ataque contra la razon: Como la politica del miedo, el secretismo y la fe ciega erosionion la democracia y ponen en peligro a Estados Unidos y al mundo (Spanish Edition) from Random House Mondadori Price: $15.96 Customer Review: This is one of the most illuminating books I've read in a long time. I'm almost grateful Gore didn't make it to the presidency in 2000 because he got to use his time in better endeavors.

| 16. |  | The Spirit of Family from Henry Holt and Co. Customer Review: I couldn't care less about the former profession, one-time aspirations, or politics of the person who edited this lovely book. As I see it, this collection of photos has virtually nothing to do with politics of any sort and has everything to do with the celebration of America's families. Inside this... |
