A Classic
The book starts with a overview of the dominant position that is occupied by multinationals in today's global economy. Going by the definition of the term, 60000 multinationals produce a quarter of the global output of products and services. Yet they are owned by less that 1 percent of the worlds population and employ about 1 percent of the world's employable workforce. Meanwhile many of these ...

An inspirational call to find your environmental calling
I found this to be among the most inspiring books that I have read this year. It is not a narrative but a vast collection of small essays and notes covering topics related to changing our environment for the better. Some stories are inspirational accounts of what others have done, others are calls to action for what can be done. They focus on six categories - stuff, shelter, cities, community, ...

Don't believe in Global Warming? Are you insane??
I am horrified to hear a reviewer, in this day and age and with the united voices out thousands of the world's preeminent scientists shouting it to the rafters, that he/she doubts the existence of a global climate crisis. What more evidence does one need? When our children are dying from starvation and flooding and our grandchildren from disease, people such as these will standing on the last dry ...

More than I bargained for
I bought this book thinking it would offer a profile of environmental activism that could be turned into action by others- I wanted to see how they did what they did. This I got, but also much more. This a most enlightening book, superbly written, difficult to put down. You get not only a history of environmental activism on the Hudson River, but a brief history of same in the U.S., complete with ...

Remarkable undertaking by a blessed man
I approached this book with preset cynicism for two reasons. One, the author is a politician who was bitterly defeated by a much less qualified candidate. So, I expected a book filled with revenge and pity. It does have some, yet could be forgiven. Secondly, Al Gore's performance during his presidential recount was that of a drugged man out of touch with reality. Only after he accepted defeat, ...

Compelling Compassion
Jonathan Miller was right on target with this insightful book. As a Jewish American who has studied both politics and religion, he has great ideas for helping both the public and private sectors come together to help build a better community and ultimately a better America. It is nice to know that we have politicians out there who understand and recognize the bigger picture. No wonder Mr. ...

a world of hurt...and hope...
You may be well aware of global warming and the environmental problems facing our beleaguered planet. Or you may be one of the naysayers who believe those problems are contrived and part of some low-down conspiracy. Regardless, the enlightening words of Al Gore have got to hit a nerve. Our Purpose is composed of Gore's acceptance speech for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and includes excerpts ...
