Have you ever wondered why some of the biggest problems we face, from illegal immigration to global warming to poverty never seem to get fixed? The reason is simple: the solutions just aren't very convenient. Fortunately, radio and television host 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 ten poorest cities all had one simple thing in common, but self-serving politicians will never tell you what that is (or explain how easy it would be to change): Glenn Beck will. Global warming is another issue that's ripe with lies and distortion. How many times have you 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. Bet you'll never see that in an Al Gore slideshow. An Inconvenient Book contains hundreds of these same "why have I never heard that before?" type of facts that will leave you 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.
As the host of a nationally syndicated radio program and a prime-time television show on CNN, Headline News, Glenn Beck combines a refreshing level of honesty with a biting sense of humor and a lot of research to find solutions that will open your eyes while entertaining you along the way.
If you really want the straight goods;there's no better place to get it than from Glen Beck!!
I found this book exceptional in every respect.As a frequent listner to his show,I was surprised how his book is so well written and how he is able to cover such a wide variety of subjects and in a way that what he has to say does not become dated in a very short time. To be able to do this with subjects that are often called current affairs is not easy. All the issues Beck deals with in this book are well known to most people but he is able to cut through the fog and present the facts that a rte the essence of the subject and sum it up using very logical analysis and common sense. I have to say;there is extremely little in this book and Beck's conclusions that I am not in full agreement. Beck reminds us that "If science has occasional problems,the Media has many,and the Government has an unlimited supply." While I enjoyed this book and will look fordward to more by this person who is adept at sorting the wheat from the chaff and pure nonsense;I must admit I still prefer to listen to him on his show.
A must read if you want to be informed and entertained! Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R28EQS9BE59JU2 An Inconvenient Book is a convenient read! Full of facts, humor and down right important "stuff", this book is worth every penny. Whether you are a conservative or liberal, this book will open your eyes. If it doesn't, you're simply just not that smart.
What can I say but that it's chopped full of info we all need to know and people don't realize, thanks Glenn for opening the eyes of the commen man
Yes, politics can be funny This was actually my first experience with Glenn Beck, only hearing about his radio show through friends who liked his energetic, off-the-wall style.
While a political book, it certainly has a great common sense feel to it. One never feels he's trying to mislead or misconstrue whether one agrees or not, and when he says something way in left field he admits it. Incredibly, this is probably the most honest book regarding politics I've ever read.
Being quite right wing, I agreed about jest about everything but the last chapter that was really really bad conspiracy theory. Glenn, if there is one North American Union in the next fifty years, feel free to go to my review and say you told me so. I won't be able to read it, given I'll be up in a shack stockpiling guns, but it might still give you some satisfaction.
His self prescribed ADD moments spattered throughout the text are hilarious, as well as his ability to have fun with the mundane(what movies to see with the girl to get laid), to the increbibly dark(A fiery solution to the pedophilia problem). Was some in bad taste? Oh yeah, and hilarious.
BeckBook I enjoyed the book--typical Glenn. A few spots some silliness but for the most part a fun read and alot making total sense. I do recommend it.
