Best Selling Books by Al Gore

Książka jest kontynuacją dwóch poprzednich (Niewygodna prawda – Sonia Draga 2007 i Masz Wybór – Sonia Draga 2010), w których Al Gore prezentował fakty na temat zmian klimatycznych i uzmysławiał czytelnikowi, że tylko podejmując zdecydowane działania zdołamy zapobiec katastrofie klimatycznej. Narracja osnuta jest wokół 3 pytań: Czy musimy się zmienić? Czy potrafimy się zmienić? Czy się zmienimy? Tekst dzieli się na dwie części. W pierwszej autor przedstawia dane związane z badaniami klimatycznymi, bogato ilustrowane zdjęciami i wykresami. Informacje podawane są przystępnym językiem. Ta część ilustrowana jest również wypowiedziami mieszkańców różnych części świata borykających się ze skutkami kryzysu klimatycznego, którzy dzięki swojemu zaangażowaniu zdołali odnieść zwycięstwo. Druga część jest praktycznym poradnikiem dla tych, którzy chcieliby mieć swój wkład w walkę ze zmianami klimatycznymi. Instruuje między innymi, jak mówić o konieczności zmian i podpowiada, jak przekonać do nich sceptyków.

Après le succès international du film et du livre Une vérité qui dérange, Al Gore signe avec ce nouvel opus son retour dans l''arène politique. Dans La Raison assiégée, il propose un diagnostic des dysfonctionnements de la démocratie américaine et avance des idées pour y remédier. Après l''écologie, que l''on retrouve néanmoins au cœur de ce livre, il mène une réflexion méthodique sur la façon dont la démocratie participative, telle que les pères fondateurs de l''Amérique l''avaient envisagée, a failli. Comment le débat d''idées américain s''est transformé peu à peu en un réseau de téléachat, un paradis pour colporteurs vendant le mirage de la participation à un public ayant perdu la capacité de s''engager. Il s''agit aussi d''une charge contre l''administration Bush, coupable d''avoir exploité la politique de la peur et dégradé l''image des États-Unis dans le monde. Une éclatante remise en question.

It is now abundantly clear that we have at our fingertips all of the tools we need to solve the climate crisis. The only missing ingredient is collective will. Properly understood, the climate crisis is an unparalleled opportunity to finally and effectively address many persistent causes of suffering and misery that have long been neglected, and to transform the prospects of future generations, giving them a chance to live healthier, more prosperous lives as they continue their pursuit of happiness. Our Choice gathers in one place all of the most effective solutions that are available now and that, together, will solve this crisis. It is meant to depoliticize the issue as much as possible and inspire readers to take action—not only on an individual basis but as participants in the political processes by which every country, and the world as a whole, makes the choice that now confronts us. There is an old African proverb that says, "If you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, go together." We have to go far, quickly. We can solve the climate crisis. It will be hard, to be sure, but if we can make the choice to solve it, I have no doubt whatsoever that we can and will succeed. —AL GORE, from the introduction

In this report, the National Performance Review (NPR) offers recommendations that should result in a need for significantly fewer federal staff support employees, and shift the emphasis of financial management to timely and useful support for program delivery to the public. Notwithstanding large annual overhead savings, the real value to taxpayers will be much better stewardship of their tax dollars. Federal managers will be clearly accountable for measurable program results at the most efficient cost. Financial managers will be respected advisers to line program managers - effective members of a team ensuring excellent public services. And, due to clear reporting of tangible results, the government will earn Americans'' trust that it is well managed. This report provides the needed road map to change today''s unsatisfactory status quo.

As these stakeholders raise issues, agencies increase their specialization, add organizations, and pile on more directives. In the process, the focus moves further and further from their real customers, the public. Taken collectively, the actions recommended in this report put government''s focus squarely on the customer where it belongs. With this focus, all the lessons from both the public and private sector say that rework, make work, and unnecessary tasks fall away, and productivity soars.
