      abstract = {An analysis of how the politics of fear, secrecy,  cronyism, and blind faith has created an environment  dangerously hostile to reason. We live in an age when the  30-second television spot is the most powerful force  shaping the electorate's thinking, and America is in the  hands of an administration less interested than any  previous administration in sharing the truth with the  citizenry. Of even greater concern is this administration's  disinterest in the process by which the truth is  ascertained--an open inquiry in which unexpected and even  inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions.  Never has there been a worse time for us to lose the  capacity to face the reality of our long-term challenges.  Gore aims to make us more aware of the forces at work on  our own minds, and to lead us to an understanding of what  we can do to safeguard our future.--From publisher  description.},
