An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems

An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems

by Glenn Beck

Threshold editions | May 12, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Now available in trade paperback, the #1 bestselling New York Times author Glenn Beck tackles some of our country's biggest problems in this funny, outrageous, and entertaining book.

Glenn Beck believes that the reason why some of our biggest problems never seem to get fixed is simple: the solutions just aren't very convenient. And as the host of a nationally syndicated radio show and a prime-time television show on CNN Headline News, Glenn Beck doesn't care much about convenience; he cares about common sense.

Take the issue of poverty, for example. Over the last forty years, America's poorest cities all had one simple thing in common, but politicians will never reveal what that is (or explain how easy it would be to change). Global warming is another issue that's rife with lies and distortion. How many times have we heard that carbon dioxide is responsible for huge natural disasters that have killed millions of people? The truth is, it's actually the other way around: as CO2 has increased, deaths from extreme weather have decreased. But that would never be shown in an Al Gore slide show.

Combining honesty with a biting sense of humor, An Inconvenient Book contains hundreds of these "why have I never heard that before?" types of facts that will leave readers wondering how political correctness, special interests, and outright stupidity have gotten us so far away from the common sense solutions this country was built on.

    A great read. He says what most of us think but balk on saying because we're afraid of offending someone. It appears that he has done his homework on the days current events and puts things in perspective.
