Our Purpose: The Nobel Peace Prize Lecture 2007 by Al Gore

3.0

This is book is composed of two parts: a copy of Al Gore's Nobel Lecture and an excerpt of his "Inconvenient Truth." The lecture portion, which was only about 20 pages, was a plea for cooperation for the explicit purpose of preserving the planet. It was inspiring but it was also highly referential and I frequently found myself stopping to check his references. Also, I thought I'd be reading more on the topic of peace, non-violence, anti-war, etc. and less on global preservation. I'm sad to say that I can only give it 3 stars because I can name ten crappy professors that can give a better lecture on both peace and global warming. Yes, Al Gore has given the need for environmentalism more of a platform, but I expected much more for a Nobel lecture.
