Houghton, mifflin, harcourt

Winner of the Palimpsest Prize In a story reminiscent of an old gospel tune heard from a deep words church in Tennessee, LET THE GLORY OUT, by Albert Gore Sr., is at once a telling account of a life spent in politics helping to shape many of the most significant moments of the twentieth century, and a rare glimpse into the private life of a legendary political family committed to public service. In a refreshingly candid and lively discussion, a picture of the senior Gore emerges as a tireless advocate for social change who stuck to principle and never backed down from controversy. The pride of vistory and the pain of defeat fill every page.  More profound, perhaps, is the personal portrait he gives of his young son, Al Gore Jr., an unsentimental look at at a father's hopes for his son's future, now placed in the context of a son honoring his now deceased father's memory through his own political legacy. From commentary on race relations to words of inspiration for our youth, Gore Sr. embodied the best of Southern progressivism and, along the way, clearly articulated the bedrock issues that have to come define much of American politics today.

The Best Kept Secrets in Government: How the Clinton Administration Is Reinventing the Way Washington Works : Fourth Report of the National Performance Review

National Performance Review (U. S.)

Random House, Inc.

Al Gore has been a passionate advocate of action to halt climate change for many years. In his best-selling book, An Inconvenient Truth, he wrote about the urgent need to address the problems of climate change, presenting comprehensive facts and information on all aspects of global warming in a direct, thoughtful and compelling way, using explanatory diagrams and dramatic photos to clarify and highlight key issues. Adopting the same lucid technique in Our Choice, he proposes solutions at every level of our lives, from the personal and local to the national and political to the area of international policy and law.

The National Performance Review is about change -historic change- in the way the government works.  As the title makes clear, the National Performance Review is about moving from red tape to results to create a government that works better and costs less.  This report describes roughly 100 of the most important actions and recommendations, while hundreds more are listed in the appendices.  The National Performance Review focused primarily on how government should work, not on what it should do.  On September 7, 1993, Vice President Al Gore and the National Performance Review released their report.  This edition reproduces that document in its entirety. The National Performance Review was an intensive 6-month study of the federal government, intended to be the beginning of a long-term commitment to change.
