by Joseph Kaufmann and Joseph Kaufman

For many years Al Gore has been an influential figure in national politics. He may soon become even more significant to the United States and the world. We've gotten to know him via thousands of sound bites and images. For the first time, a cohesive and substantive representation of this man is available. In "The World According to Al Gore, the vice president's opinions and statements on a broad spectrum of important topics are assembled in one volume. Here is Al Gore in his own words. This easily accessible, user-friendly volume is presented in an A-to-Z format and contains excerpts from hundreds of speeches, debates, and interviews. These passages span his national political career and give the reader an understanding of Gore's ideas, motivations, and priorities, and the way they have evolved over the last two decades. Read Gore on the environment, family values, drugs, campaign finance, education, parenting, foreign policy, the Internet, and much more. "The World According to AlGore provides insight into Gore the man, the father, the activist, and the politician.

Good for a good laugh

I found this book on a 3 for a $1.00 table at Waldenbooks, guess they didn't want it either. But if you need a good laugh, just open this book (to any page) and read one of Al's quotes.

Issue Coverage

I was astounded when just looking at the table of contents, a vast amount of issues that the average American wants covered looked at in Al Gore's own words in a pretty short amount of pages. Although not a democrat I enjoyed reading over the views of our president, it went beyond trite one-liners to the real words of a man who served us (whether you believe that to be well or not is up to you). No matter your take on Gore this can help your support or attacks to be well-informed and accurate, as well as making you a citizen who knows his/her leaders!
