First published in 1992, it helped place the environment on the national agenda; now, as environmental issues move front-and-center in the public consciousness, the time is right to reflect deeply on the fate of our planet and commit ourselves to its future. While An Inconvenient Truth closely examines one menace to our environment, global warming, Earth in the Balance takes a broader approach, focusing on the threats that everyday choices pose to our climate, water, soil, and diversity of plant and animal life. A passionate, lifelong defender of the environment, Gore describes in brave and unforgettable terms how human actions and decisions can endanger or safeguard the vulnerable ecosystem that sustains us.

      The forward and epilogue, sincerely read by Al Gore, voice deep concern for our global environment. Throughout the remainder of the program Ed Begley's critical tone emphasizes the grave nature of the problem and Gore's demand for immediate action. Begley's habit of increasing the tempo when reading of mankind's abuses against nature reflects Gore's belief that this disastrous situation will soon be out of control. In the final portion of the program, the conviction with which the narrator reads the solutions to the crisis effectively persuades listeners that these are sensible remedies. Although the program drags in some places due to the exhaustive research included in the text, there is more than enough food for thought. M.P.T. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
