Our Choice: A Plan To Solve The Climate Crisis (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This multimedia version of Al Gore's Our Choice (available as an iPad app) lays out a nice overview of the global warming crisis. The eBook delves into various forms of alternative energy, and shares how each one works, including its pros and cons.Gore and his team did a great job of bringing this information to vibrant life via a range of multimedia elements, from photos and video, to interactive infographics and animations. The mutimedia helps are well-chosen and well-wrought. Animations show, step by step, how solar power works, demonstrating the process better than a static photo ever could. And videos contribute rich storytelling from projects around the world. This book stands as a warning to humanity of the dire need to change our course. However, as the title suggests, it's also an empowering read, chockfull of solutions and inspiration. This is my choice for the textbook of the future (wait- I don't have to wait until the future. It is now.) I can see using it not just to teach the content but so much about how non-fiction can work using the amazing and interactive charts, graphs, movies, and audio clips. I'm on the wind chapter and they even have a picture where you can blow into the microphone to generate wind, as you read a caption about wind, intermittency & Batteries. If you had read the book you would know that intermittency is an energy problem we have yet to solve.I'm doing this review on the paperback because I didn't see the e-book edition, but that is really what I'm reading.
